Our team develops new ways to diagnose and treat cancer using tiny, smart particles called nanomedicines. By combining advanced imaging and targeted therapies, we aim to detect tumors earlier and make treatments more effective and safer. Our ultimate goal is to bring these innovations quickly from the lab to the clinic, so they can directly benefit patients.
