Nanodrug delivery for Brain tumors

Brain tumor is one of the most potent brain malignancies in the world especially Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). We are investigating a highly advanced non invasive diagnostic and therapeutic multifunctional nano platforms for the GBM. We have already developed a technology which can be utilized for the highly effective thin biopolymer coating on nanodrugs. The recent or the evolved aptamers will be one of our concerns for site specific targeting of brain tumor.
