Nanoparticle technology refers to the scientific study and use of tiny particles called nanoparticles. These particles are incredibly small, even smaller than a cell, and they have special properties that make them useful in various fields. By applying this technology, scientists can manipulate and control these particles to create new materials, medicines, and technologies that can improve our lives.

«The
gold nanoparticle technology is easy to use and extremely sensitive to CTC diversity — it can detect multiple types simultaneously down to as few as 10 CTCs in a 1 milliliter blood sample — and we saw dramatic changes during treatment for all patients studied,» Trau says.
We collaborate closely with the Collaborative Research Centre for Cancer Therapeutics (CSO Dr Ian Street) to screen for small molecules that can be developed into drugs to combat metastatic disease and with the ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio-Nano Science and Technology (Monash University) to improve drug delivery to tumours
using nanoparticle technology.
«This is the first example of a
targeted nanoparticle technology that reduces atherosclerosis in an animal model,» said co-senior author Omid Farokhzad, MD, associate professor and director of the Laboratory of Nanomedicine and Biomaterials at BWH and Harvard Medical School (HMS).
