Development of an endofunctional capsule for targeted delivery of biomarkers in the alimentary tract

拟议的胶囊将为进入小肠以靶向递送生物标志物和药物的问题提供解决方案，并有助于转化医学研究，以增强我们对肠道功能的理解。该项目的成功完成将建立在澳大利亚研究实力的确定优先领域（前沿技术，智能信息使用），并协助提供对新型体内内功能装置设计至关重要的信息。本项目开发的技术将可用于其他体内功能研究和治疗器械的开发。

The proposed capsule will provide a solution to the problem of accessing the small intestine for targeted delivery of biomarkers and drugs, and contribute to translational medical research to enhance our understanding of the function of the gut. Successful completion of this project will build on defined priority areas of research strength in Australia (frontier technologies, smart information use) and assist in the provision of information critical to the design of novel in vivo endofunctional devices. The technologies to be developed in this project will be translatable to the development of other in vivo functional investigation and treatment devices.
