WELCOME
The objective of the VECTOR project is to develop intelligent endoscopic capsules using innovations in micro- and nanotechnology. The VECTOR project aims at investigating and developing a miniaturised robotic pill for advanced diagnostics and therapy in the human digestive tract. The project mission is to make a significant contribution to the diagnosis and treatment of digestive cancers and their precursors and to strengthen the competitiveness of the European biomedical industry through innovative technologies.
The VECTOR project is supported by the European Union within the 6th Framework Programme for a duration of four years. The consortium includes 19 partners from industry and research organizations.
