We are proud to announce a new paper from the EVA project team:
“Analysis of the Navigation of Magnetic Microrobots through Cerebral Bifurcations for Targeted Drug Delivery”
This work employs numerical simulations to understand how magnetically actuated microrobots—leveraging magnetic nanoparticle technology—can traverse cerebral blood vessel bifurcations to deliver therapeutics precisely to target sites. It provides:
-
Detailed modeling of navigation in realistic vascular geometries
-
Gradient‑based design maps and predictive formulas for magnetic control
-
Foundational principles to guide future magnetic nanoparticle–enabled drug delivery tools
This research marks a major step toward EVA’s goal: magnetically targeted, minimally invasive therapies for the brain.
