About the course

MRI technology and applications have advanced tremendously over the last few decades. Keeping this in mind, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai presents a one-of-its-kind MRI course in India. The uniqueness of this course is that it addresses engineers, students, doctors, technicians and application specialists on one platform. The course covers all facets of MRI, giving the target audience a never before opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of MRI techniques and its applications.

World First: Localized Delivery of an Anti-Cancer Drug by Remote-Controlled Microcarriers

Soon, drug delivery that precisely targets cancerous cells without exposing the healthy surrounding tissue to the medication’s toxic effects will no longer be an oncologist’s dream but a medical reality, thanks to the work of Professor Sylvain Martel, Director of the Nanorobotics Laboratory at Polytechnique Montréal.

Known for being the world’s first researcher to have guided a magnetic sphere through a living artery, Professor Martel is announcing a new breakthrough in the field of nanomedicine. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, his team successfully guided microcarriers loaded with a dose of anti-cancer drug through the bloodstream of a living rabbit, right up to a targeted area in the liver, where the drug was successfully administered. This is a medical first that will help improve chemoembolization, a current treatment for liver cancer.
