Résumé
Although most cancers are localized, toxic agents are still injected systematically. As a result, present treatments frequently fail because of severe side effects related to the fact that the drug accumulates in insufficient concentration at the tumor site while being distributed over healthy tissues and organs. This Chair aims at exploiting science and engineering including nanotechnology with principles of robotics to develop innovative platforms and techniques to navigate special drug-loaded vehicles to the area to be treated using the most direct route in order to improve tumor killing effects while minimizing toxic side effects caused by drug activity in non-targeted regions.
