Update on Progress (with Pictures!)

Hello everyone, The work on Nanject (and the by product of Nanject) is going quite well. As planned earlier, we are still looking to get a MEng/MRes student to potentially do some work on magnetic nanoparticles and related areas of the project. In the past 6 months we gave a public lecture and I also presented at a conference about Nanject. We will also be presenting at a few other conferences later this year. Nanject has also progressed to the final stage in one of the business competitions here in Edinburgh! Here are a couple of pictures for you guys:

About This Project

What if we could use a novel approach for delivering currently injectable drugs to the body without syringes? What if we could destroy malignant cancer cells in difficult areas of the body that cannot yet be targeted? We are doing research to try to combine these into what we call the Nanject, in order to improve health care everywhere. For subtitles and multiple languages, please click here
Blast off!
