Original post: World First ;Clever Engineering and Flexible Technology Solves a Nanoparticle Challenge It is not every day that you get to solve a unique problem. But that’s exactly what happened when a collaboration with researchers at the University of Melbourne led to a world first breakthrough in scalable Metal Phenolic Network (MPN) nanoparticle production. About a year ago at the 14th Nanomedicines Conference on Sydney Harbour, I was one of the fortunate people to witness the presentation by Prof Frank Caruso of Chemical Engineering, Melbourne University, describing the effectiveness of Metal Phenolic Networks (MPNs) to target specific organs. This science is extraordinary given it has the potential to create organ specific nanoparticles for drug delivery. However, translating this science into scalable production posed significant hurdles. The method can be very labour intensive, and particularly
