Summary
Some brain cancers cannot be surgically removed, and many potent therapeutics cannot reach the tumour site. This project aims to overcome these hurdles by utilizing a recently developed multifunctional nanoparticle drug delivery system that can be injected directly into tumours. With state-of-the-art equipment and the supervision of a neurosurgeon, this project will explore how a range of promising drugs can be repurposed to attack brain tumours from within.
