How might medicine become more targeted, more precise and less invasive? Professor Eleanor Stride, Professor of Biomaterials at Oxford, is working at the fascinating boundary between engineering and medicine. Her team designs microscopic drug-delivery systems and uses ultrasound and magnetic fields to guide and activate them. The aim is to get more treatment to the place it is needed, while reducing exposure elsewhere in the body. Her research has applications ranging from cancer therapy and difficult infections to fracture healing. This promises an absorbing glimpse into some of the technologies that could shape the future of healthcare.
