NIH Selects Purdue to Use Phi29 DNA Packaging Motor
Abstract:
A multidisciplinary Purdue research team will lead one of eight national nanomedicine development centers.
The National Institutes of Health awarded the team $7 million over five years to study the use of a nanomotor, a microscopic biological machine, for potential use in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer, AIDS, hepatitis B and influenza.
