Google developing cancer and heart attack-detecting pill
We’ve learnt that the internet giant is moving into the health industry and is developing a pill containing tiny magnetic particles that could identify cancers, heart attacks and other diseases before they become a problem.
Andrew Conrad, head of life sciences inside Google’s “moonshot” X research lab told the WSJD Live conference in California on Tuesday:
Essentially the idea is simple; you just swallow a pill with the nano particles, which are decorated with antibodies or molecules that detect other molecules.
Google’s latest move is significant as nanotechnology is a new field in medical science, and the lucrative health market is worth around 10% of the economy of developed nations.
