Funded Activity Summary

Virus-inspired nanoparticles based on polyion complex micelles. Viruses are nature's nanoparticles that have evolved over millions of years into intelligent nanoparticles. The unique structure of viruses with their patchy surface has inspired the design of a new drug carrier by employing the power of polymers to self-organize. The project aims at mimicking nature’s nanoparticles with intelligent polymers while enabling the design of a platform that can entrap therapeutic proteins and enhance their delivery. The focus will be to gain in-depth understanding on the polymer self-assembly process in order to design a synthetically robust system that can be applied to various payloads. As a result, novel nanoparticles with virus-inspired structures for the delivery of therapeutic proteins will be created.
