Dr Cyrill Bussy represented the Nanomedicine Lab in the 9th International Conference and Workshop on Biological Barriers – in vitro and in silico Tools for Drug Delivery and Nanosafety Research at Saarland University, Germany. His talk focused on the use of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes as drug delivery nanocarriers and how research on the toxicological issues of the nanomaterials can help design better biomedical tools.
