A British scientist has developed innovative technology that is able to deliver drugs deep into the brain in order to treat neurological diseases including Parkinson’s and cancer.

The tech, designed by Steven Gill, professor of neurosurgery at the University of Bristol, has shown encouraging results in its first controlled clinical trial.

The convection enhanced delivery system enables drugs to bypass the blood brain barrier. The medical device is manufactured by British engineering firm Renishaw.
