BIOTECH'S FUTURE: NEW DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR PRESCRIPTION EYE DRUGS

The video discusses a novel delivery system for eye medications, which uses a gel platform to administer existing drugs more effectively. This technology, based on hyaluronic acid, allows for controlled release of medication, improving treatment outcomes for conditions like cataracts and eye trauma. It is particularly useful in battlefield scenarios, where medics can quickly apply the gel to injured soldiers. The system addresses challenges in drug administration by tailoring the release duration, supported by NSF grants for optimization.
