Research at Waterloo: Building Knowledge
Novel nanotech drug delivery
“Imagine,” says Marianna Foldvari, “chicken wire rolled up into a tube.” That’s how a carbon nanotube would look. With a diameter of one to 50 nanometres — 1,000 times smaller than a human hair — the nanotube could be loaded with drug molecules, and implanted or injected into a patient.
