Nanobiotix, pioneer and leader in nanomedicine has developed a revolutionary concept dedicated to the local treatment of cancer. Nanobiotix is focused on the development of NanoXray, a pipeline of patented products, which are based on a physical mechanism of action: nanoparticles interact with X-rays and maximize the effect of radiotherapy within tumor cells. NanoXray products enhance the radiotherapy efficacy in the tumor without increasing healthy tissues damages.

Our unique gold nanoparticle labeling technology uses chemically cross-linked metal clusters and nanoparticles as labels.

Unlike conventional immunogold probes, in which colloidal gold particles are electrostatically adsorbed to antibodies and proteins, our gold nanoparticle labels are uncharged molecules which are cross-linked to specific sites on biomolecules. This gives our nanogold probes greater range and versatility than colloidal gold.
