Funded Activity Summary

Smart Nanocapsules for Efficient Cellular Delivery of Bioactive Peptide Drugs. This project will bring about practical benefits in terms of developing efficient therapeutic drug delivery systems, which has a market growth estimated to be ca. 23% p.a. in the world. The novel encapsulation technology developed in this project is not only desirable for biomolecules but also applicable for other functional materials and will find wide applications in a number of fields, such as chemical, food processing and cosmetic industries. Successful completion of the project can also strengthen our capacity to participate in new areas of research and positioning Australia at the forefront of bionanotechnology.
