Asked by osmium456 to Aaron, Ananthi, Ashley, Christopher, Emma, Lea on 13 Nov 2017.
Question: Are any of you working on anything to do with microbots (i think thats what there called!😂 The little ones that can go in your blood stream and stuff) and if so what do you think they will help us with in the near or, not so near future?

No, unfortunately I don’t. It would be really cool though. I think there would always be a call for something like that, as it would help target medical treatments more effectively and enable us to do so much more to treat disease. We may be quite a way off this yet though! 😃

Osmium456!!! you again! Your questions have had me thinking more than PhD have this last week! I have not actually heard of these but if I do hear about them I’ll be reminded that I first heard of them from the budding future scientist that is you!

I’m not no, but lots of people are researching them for lots of uses like targeting cancer, targeting infectious diseases like TB and to scout out other diseases. There is lots of interest in it and it will only get even more interesting as new things are researched!
