Why discover new delivery systems?
"In our lab, we're using special 3D printing machines to create personalized medicine doses. We also create helpful medical tools like nose supports and stents using a special material we invented called bio-flex. Our main aim is to improve healthcare by improving medicines and using advanced 3D printing methods."
