Medical Nanofactories

We repurpose Bacterial Microcompartments as catalytic nanofactories for disease treatments

We are constructing completely biocompatible therapeutic nanofactories that convert a prodrug into a therapeutic molecule to fight cancer and other diseases. 

Functionalization of the outside of the particle includes the addition of molecules to target the nanofactories to the disease, increasing effectiveness and lowering toxicity of a treatmemnt.
