Medical Nanorobotics
Steering medicine through the human microvasculature.
Nanobot Inc. engineers MRI-trackable nanorobotic systems, propelled and guided by flagellated magnetotactic bacteria, to navigate and treat disease at the scale of the capillary.
The Platform
Propulsion
Bacterial engines
Flagellated magnetotactic bacteria act as living propulsion units, driving nanorobotic payloads through vessels too small for conventional delivery systems.
Tracking
MRI-visible by design
The same magnetic properties that orient the bacteria make each unit trackable under standard MRI, keeping navigation visible in real time.
Steering
External magnetic control
Directional control is applied externally through magnetic fields, allowing precise steering without onboard power or moving parts.
