Science Odyssey: Nanomedicine

The 1966 sci-fi hit "Fantastic Voyage" foretold a day when tiny doctors (accompanied for some reason by Raquel Welch) would circulate throughout our bodies fighting disease. Fortunately, that day has never come, but nanomedicine is an emerging reality. On this program, we hear from UNMC Science Laureate Alexander Kabanov, a pioneer in the field, on how tiny drugs are having a big effect.
