Congratulations to Prof. Bradley Nelson for his second ERC Advanced Grant

With his second ERC Advanced Grant, Prof. Nelson wants to develop microrobots made from soft, flexible materials that can change their shape and could be used in medical treatments. Microorganisms such as bacteria serve as models for the soft microrobots, which will be made from magnetic hydrogels. 

He also wants to use his ERC project to develop flexible, magnetic catheters that could be used to place the therapeutic microrobots in the desired location inside the body.
