Langer has also pioneered remote-control systems in which the rate at which the drug is released can be varied using ultrasound, electric pulses and even magnetic fields. This team has recently developed the prototype of an implantable "pharmacy-on-a-chip" that they hope someday will not only monitor a patient's blood chemistry but also prescribe a carefully measured dose of the proper medicine precisely when it's needed...
