Patent for Trans-Nasal Brain Drug Delivery System
Bouvé/ChE University Distinguished Professor Mansoor Amiji was awarded a patent for “Biodegradable implant for sustained trans-nasal delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain.”
Abstract Source: USPTO
A method of delivering a therapeutic agent into the central nervous system through the blood-brain barrier includes implanting an implant within the submucosal space of the olfactory epithelium. The implant can provide sustained drug delivery to the brain. The implant can be placed using a minimally invasive surgical approach.
