"The technology, called flash nanoprecipitation, enables the encapsulation of drugs into nanoscale particles that improve delivery and effectiveness. ... The new venture extends the impact of the technology, which already is being used in a project with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation awarded Prud'homme's lab a $1.2 million grant in 2016 to apply their technology to increase the effectiveness of drugs used in global health. ... The method has been applied to three drugs sponsored by the Gates Foundation. The first was for a drug to treat diarrhea in infants caused by drinking polluted water, the second a tuberculosis drug, and the third a single-dose treatment for malaria."
Thanks to Bill and Melinda Gates!
It’s all in the delivery — nanoparticle platform could transform medical treatments | Office of the Dean for Research: Optimeos Life Sciences, a startup founded by two Princeton University faculty members, has reached agreements with six pharmaceutical companies to develop therapeutics using a Princeton-developed drug delivery technology. The collaborations have the potential to improve the effectiveness of medications for the treatment of diseases, ranging from cancer to diabetes.
