Dr. Afsaneh Lavasanifar
uses nanotechnology to target medicine delivery and improve drug absorption. Primarily focused on chemotherapy drugs, which can be harmful to organs like the heart and kidneys, she's developed a patented polymer technology that can carry medicines to targeted areas—delivering medicine directly to a tumour and away from surrounding healthy tissues. The result—better, more effective medicine with less side-effects.
