| Description: Center for Biomedical and Robotics Technology (BART LAB) is a collaborative medical/engineering research center for medical robotics and computer-integrated surgical technology with missions to conduct research, to develop and commercialize prototypes, and to create research and knowledge networks in the areas. The goal of BART LAB is to increase the ability, potential and efficiency of the research and development on various fields in Biomedical Engineering Technology in Thailand. This also responds to the government’s R&D strategies.
BART LAB has been founded in 2004 by collaboration among government agencies and universities in Thailand, which are MTEC, NECTEC, NSTDA, Thai Robotics Society, Mahidol University, Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University, Institute of Field Robotics (FIBO) – King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, and Chiang Mai University. BART LAB is also academically supported by several leading foreign institutes, such as, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, UCLA, California State University at Long Beach, University of Massachusetts at Amherst – USA, Imperial College - UK and Nagaoka University – Japan. In addition, BART LAB is also collaborating with private and industrial sectors in developing and commercializing prototypes. |

Description: Our research objective is to develop polymeric drug delivery systems (DDSs) that can efficiently deliver anticancer drug to cancer cells. Polymers used for these DDSs are biocompatible and biodegradable. DDSs can be prepared in millimeter, nanometer and molecular scale. For the millimeter scale, the research aim is to develop intratumoral implantations that can be injected directly insides tumors. Anticancer drugs that are kept inside will release and kill cancer cells. For the nanoscale, we develop magnetic nanoparticles that can be detected by MRI once injected inside the body. Not only to visualize cancer cells in vivo but these nanoparticles can also selectively deliver anticancer drugs to these cancer cells. For the molecular scale, anticancer drugs are chemically conjugated to each polymer chain to enhance the cancer cell uptake and reduce the side effects of these drugs. |
