TOPIC：
Towards Microrobot Delivery for Targeted Therapy
ABSTRACT：
Using magnetically powered microrobots as carriers to deliver cells or drugs precisely is a promising technology in precision medicine. This talk will introduce our recent development of using magnet-driven microrobots to deliver therapeutic cells to lesions for targeted therapy. The invention will permit many new unforeseen clinical applications previously thought impossible, and profoundly affect therapeutic treatment in the future.
