2012 - Development of a method using laser-activated nanoparticles as a potential cancer treatment.
Medical Physics
About This Innovation
* Green developed a method where lasers are used to "illuminate" the nanoparticles * Using this image of cancerous cells decreases the amount of time it takes to target these cells * Member of the team that developed a laboratory method to insert nanoparticles into cancer cells while avoiding surrounding healthy cells * Tissue incorporating the nanoparticles heats up due to directed laser radiation, which then destroys the cancer cells.
