Funded Activity Summary

Micro-nanoprojection patches for minimally-invasive and targeted delivery of genes and drugs to skin cells: from concept to technology platform. This project will address key science questions on the recently patented micro-nanoprojections patch, establishing it in Australia as a world leading technology in the rapidly growing and important field of gene and drug delivery. Unique internationally-competitive science outcoumes and research training will be generated at the interfaces between bioengineering, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical science and immunology. Ultimately, the project will allow improved treatment of major diseases (e.g. vaccination and immunotherapy of asthma). Achieving these health benefits by commercial pathways is expected to benefit the Australian community and emerging Biotechnology industry-creating highly valued career opportunities for Australians.
