About NanoCarrier Co., Ltd.

NanoCarrier is a biotech that focuses on the research and development of drugs primarily in the field of cancer with micellar nanoparticles technology. Micellar nanoparticles (also known as polymeric micelle) are formed from biocompatible block copolymers which consist of a hydrophilic polymer, polyethyleneglycol (PEG), and a hydrophobic polymer, polyamino acid derivative.

By encapsulating drugs efficiently inside, micellar nanoparticles work as functional particles that stay in bloodstream for a long period of time and deliver drugs preferentially to targeted sites, thus minimizing unfavourable side effects and impro
