Description

In this episode Maggie spoke to Peter Gawne about his work with radioactive nanomedicines. Peter is involved in optimising delivery of cancer drugs to the tumour site  while minimising potential side effects. In order to better understand this, he uses radioactivity to track whether delivery of the nanomedicine to the cancer is successful.

We discuss the research that Peter is doing and its potential to benefit patients, particularly women with ovarian cancer using the drug, doxorubicin, encapsulated using nanomedicine  technology.
