We are developing miniature medical implants for cancer detection and monitoring. The implant will contain wells filled with nanoparticles that can report on the conditions inside the tumor microenvironment, including concentrations of cancer biomarkers or chemotherapeutic drugs. This tool may be able to provide physicians and patients real-time information on the efficacy of treatment regimes.
