Improving methodolgies for the early detection of disease

早期发现肿瘤和疾病对于有效和成功的治疗至关重要。目前的早期检测方法是侵入性的，使用有毒或放射性化学物质。该项目的重点是了解无毒，非侵入性的“智能”聚合物设备如何用于早期疾病检测。它将提供下一代早期检测设备，这将降低治疗成本，提高治疗效果。

Early detection of tumours and diseases is vital for an effective and successful treatment. Current early detection methods are invasive and use toxic or radioactive chemicals. This project focuses on understanding how non-toxic, non-invasive ‘smart’ polymeric devices would work for early disease detection. It will provide next generation early detection devices which will reduce the cost of treatment, and increase the effectiveness of therapy.
