Dendritic Nanotechnologies Receives NCI Contract
Abstract:
Dendritic Nanotechnologies Inc. (DNT) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have entered into a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract valued at $850,000. The project will use DNT's Priostar(TM) dendrimers to develop a new generation of targeted diagnostic and therapeutic delivery technology for the early detection and treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer.
This marks the first time that dendrimer nanostructures will be used as both a diagnostic tool and a vehicle to deliver higher concentrations of therapeutic agents to cancerous cells.
