Therapeutics
Nanobiotix has developed a new class of therapeutics based on nanoparticles, NanoXray™ therapeutics. [4] They consist of inert nanoparticles designed to enter tumor cells. Upon activation by a standard dose of radiation, they release a tremendous amount of energy that destroys cancer cells, whilst the surrounding healthy tissues are preserved and receive the same dose of radiation as in standard radiotherapy.[5]
Research and development
Nanobiotix has already won 10 public and private awards and owns 9 original umbrella patents. [6]
