Colon cancer surgery just got a major upgrade, thanks to Harshil Dave, an IIT Gandhinagar PhD candidate whose hydrogel innovation is set to redefine endoscopic precision. From his hometown in Mehsana, Dave has crafted a material that addresses a critical pain point in removing precancerous colorectal polyps. Imagine a substance that liquifies under injection pressure for seamless delivery, then firms into a tumor-lifting pad. That’s the shear-th…
