Parabolis

Treating venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism often involves significant risks and side effects. To provide a safer option, Pioneer Fellow Yimo Yan is developing magnetically steerable microrobots that mechanically loosen blood clots and deliver medication precisely at the site of the blockage. Guided by external magnetic fields, the microrobots can be navigated through the bloodstream with high precision. This enables localised, minimally invasive treatment with a significantly reduced need for medication.

With the support of the Pioneer Fellowship, Yimo Yan is advancing this technology towards safe, targeted and gentle clinical use.
