Radiology professor uses nanotechnology to develop potential cancer treatment

Kattesh V. Katti, MScEd, PhD, a professor of radiology and physics at the University of Missouri in Columbia, specializes in planet-friendly nanotechnology and has developed a potential cancer treatment that “uses no toxic chemicals and leaves zero toxic waste.”

Katti’s work is inspired by nanoscience and techniques taken from the practice of Ayurvedic medicine. His process is currently licensed to a company in India and human clinical trials are underway.

“What I have shown—I use the herbal technology and then bundle it up through green nanotechnology, and now I’m telling the world this is definitely useful,” Katti said, as quoted by Rachel McKee Taylor of the Columbia Missourian.
