Big results start with small ideas: Health solutions utilising nanomedicine - Knowledge Works
From the smallest cells in our bodies to the largest body in the solar system, nanotechnology has assisted in the development of new technologies that have revolutionised the way we live. With potential use in localised drug delivery, implantable biosensors and tissue-engineering, this Knowledge Works lecture will address how inorganic materials, such as porous silicon (pSi) can be used at the nano-size to improve human health. Join Professor Nico Voelcker in this thought-provoking lecture as he provides an overview of the recent biomaterial applications of pSi and how it has been used as a drug delivery vehicle for cancer therapy. Professor Voelcker will also discuss how pSi has been applied within ocular disease therapy and will examine how pSi is being used as a biodegradable biomaterial for tissue-engineering.From:UniSouthAustraliaViews:70 0ratingsTime:49:06More inEducation
