Ultrasound-guided microcarriers have emerged to treat conditions such as cancer, by delivering therapeutic agents such as genetic vectors, proteins and chemotherapy. The NUGATT program aims at bringing this technology to heart disease through a bilateral collaboration between Queen’s University (Dr. Johri) and Sun Yat-sen University (Dr. Zhou).
