Dr. Burt's projects primarily focus on nanotechnology as applied to the development of innovative nano-sized drug carriers. These carriers, known as nanoparticulate drug delivery systems, are designed to deliver their drug payload to different sites in the body and release the drug at controlled rates. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems are an exciting new technology with potential applications in a broad range of disease states, including cancer, arthritis, tissue regeneration, infectious diseases and many more.
