NANODEVICES CAN 'HEAR' CANCER

Assistant professors, Mihri Ozkan of Electrical Engineering and Cengiz Ozkan of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Riverside's Bourns College of Engineering, are leading research into micro-electrical arrays, or the signals cells emit, and the nanodevices to deliver anti-cancer drugs. The married couple hopes to combine the technologies to "listen" for the subtle electrical cues that cancerous cells emit and deliver chemotherapies with such precision that only the cancerous cells are affected.
