On today’s edition of Today in Technology, our host Bob interviews our guest, Dr. Doolittle, on her fascinating research in cancer therapy by using nanotechnology to implement new strategies, such as increased accuracy in drug delivery, which will potentially eliminate chemotherapy. Dr. Doolittle unveils why this new form of cancer therapy will be able to bypass former barriers such as biological limits or the physical disadvantages of chemotherapy. She explains how nanotechnology uses factors such as pH to target only cancerous cells and does not affect healthy cells at all, as seen in the figure below. Listen to be enlightened on the technology of the future!
