I've never been to Georgia Tech, but my dad studied there so I'd love to visit. Researchers at Georgia Tech have looked at using magnetic nanoparticles to remove cancer cells out of the body. Sounds almost like something from an X-Men movie. So much is happening in the world of cancer research. "Targeted therapy" is a buzzword that includes biological molecules, nanotechnology, and sometimes a combination of the two. The researchers at Georgia Tech are also working with other groups to see how peptide-directed gold nanoparticles and nanohydrogels might also be used to combat cancer. Source: Georgia Tech News
