North East Innovation Lab develops nanorobotics for cancer and liver…

📣The ground-breaking work of our North East Innovation Lab - part of Newcastle Hospitals is in the national news📣   A recent piece in The Times shows how the work of the lab's specialist team is helping in the development of innovative #nanorobotics, working with partners NANOVERY, in a collaboration which could transform the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases, including #cancer and #liverdisease. Written by health correspondent Poppy Koronka, the in-depth article – titled ‘How robots smaller than a blood cell could help treat cancer’ - talks about how tiny formations of ‘#DNA origami’ can be released into the body to carry out targeted and measured drug delivery, and what such tailored treatment could mean for the NHS and individual patient outcomes. Potential applications for this type of precision care could have a huge impact, including earlier diagnosis of disease and illness, plus the potential to predict outcomes and shape faster and more accurate treatment. The innovation lab team, led by Dr John Tyson who features in the article, is evaluating this latest technology for effectiveness and accuracy, ensuring its development is on track to achieve the intended purpose and result.     Head to The Times app for the full story 👏 #Lifescience #Precisionmedicine #earlydiagnosis Tony Young Jerzy (Jurek) Kozyra
