Funded Activity Summary
Caveospheres: A versatile peptide delivery system. Nanotechnology has the potential to transform the way we treat many diseases. This project will investigate a new type of nanoparticle, the caveosphere, and tests its effectiveness as a peptide delivery system. Caveospheres can protect delicate cargo from degradation, target cargo to specific cells that induce the maximum therapeutic response, and can be synthesised in large-scale, cost-effective batch fermentation. This study will: 1: Engineer biological function into caveospheres 2: Investigate the cellular behavior of the engineered caveospheres 3: Determine the therapeutic activity of caveospheres in vitro It will develop a fundamental understanding of nanoparticles trafficking in cells, to make improved nanoparticle delivery systems.Funded Activity Details
