650,000
Cancer patients receive chemotherapy in the U.S. each year
520,000
Chemo patients develop anemia
260,000
Chemo patients develop peripheral neuropathy
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Red Blood Cell Count
Chemoradiation therapy damages bone marrow, which can deplete red blood cell count, reducing transport of oxygen in the body and increasing susceptibility to leukemia.
White Blood Cell Count
Chemoradiation therapy damages bone marrow, which can deplete white blood cell count, inhibiting and weakening the body's immune response.
Neuropathy
One-third of cancer survivors will develop chemoradiation-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which can cause debilitating pain for months after treatment.
OUR SOLUTION IS CANCER BAN-R
A revolutionary Blood And Nerve Regeneration patch
Graphene Patch
Graphene doped with gold mesh serves as an effective electrochemical sensor with increased electrical signals, allowing for sensing and drug delivery.
DNA Nanostructure
Biocompatible DNA nanostructures deliver myeloid growth factor and erythropoietin stimulating factors for white and red blood cell restoration.
Lipid Nanoparticles
Lipid nanoparticles encapsulating Eed gene targeting CRISPR technology will be used to stimulate nerve cell regeneration.
