Funded Activity Summary

TAILORING OF LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDE NANOPARTICLES FOR EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE PEPTIDES AND cDNAs. This project will lead to a new class of nanoparticle for effective peptide and DNA transfer, promising efficient drug delivery system with controllable loading and releasing and thus help maintain good health, particularly targeting neurological diseases. This project has also involved fundamental research into the nanomaterial science, surface chemistry, cell biochemistry and neuron sciences. Successful completion of the project will contribute to the development of advanced materials helping Australia advance and build the industrial competitiveness. Through this project highly skilled researchers will be well trained.
