Using Nanorobots for Precise Drug Delivery

The application of nanotechnology for drug delivery is a novel way to improve on current drug delivery measures. This video will touch upon what nanotechnology is, how it can be applied to healthcare, how it works, the advantages it brings over traditional antibiotics, and will conclude with a clinical example.

This video was made by McMaster University students Erik Mayer, Marina Boutros Salama, Ysmene Hussein, and Tawfiq Hasan in collaboration with the Demystifying ResearchMcMaster Program.
