Nano-medicine and Theranostics
The introduction of genes or drugs into cells has been used for a wide range of medical applications. We are studying the use of physical delivery of drug or reprogramming factors into the cells and tissue, as a safe and reliable method as well as exploring integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostics) modalities/nanoparticles/agents, as a unique approach in nanomedicine.
