Commenting on the award, Dr. Levy said: “I would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard for Nanobiotix over the past 10 years to develop the NanoXray technology, including those from the University at Buffalo who have provided substantial academic support. This recognition follows a decade of dedicated research and industrial development to realize the vision of a revolutionary nanomedicine technology for the local treatment of cancer, which is now under clinical development.”
Nanobiotix is a clinical-stage nanomedicine company pioneering novel approaches for the local treatment of cancer. The Company, founded in 2003, is based on intellectual property developed by Dr. Levy during his postdoctoral research at UB's Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics approximately 10 years ago. Nanobiotix’s first-in-class, proprietary technology, NanoXray, locally enhances the efficacy of radiotherapy inside tumors without increasing the damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Its lead compound, NBTXR3, is currently under clinical development in Europe.
