Funded Activity Summary

Magnetofection In An Oscillating Magnetic Field. The success of genetic engineering is largely dependent on the ability of transfection agents to deliver genes. Low transfection efficiency is now widely recognised as a critical bottleneck to successful gene delivery. The recent emphasis on the development of nanoscale delivery agents has led to new physics and chemistry-based techniques, which take advantage of charge interactions and energetic processes. This multidisciplinary project aims to address this highly significant problem by developing a novel methodology to manipulate nanoparticles under the influence of an oscillating magnetic field to achieve high transfection efficiencies in a highly relevant model of epigenetic reprogramming.
