Dr. Loboa’s work with smart bandages will be featured as one of five “big game-changers” for health in the February 2014 issue of Prevention magazine.  The article explains how a smart bandage, made with nanofibres, can be programmed to deliver a particular drug to a wound and then degrade by itself.
