Funded Activity Summary

A structure-based design approach to maximising targeting interactions. This project aims to build on a highly successful collaboration between the Australian biotechnology company Starpharma and Monash University, to better understand the design of next generation nanomaterials that home to specific target cells. The project seeks to capitalize on recent advances in dendrimer chemistry and protein engineering to explore the design of nanomaterials linked to engineered antibody fragments. The anticipated goal is attainment of exquisite, cell specific targeting affinity. Targeted nanomaterials have the potential to transform the clarity of imaging technologies; to facilitate the design of sensors and diagnostics that detect biochemical change in highly select cell populations and to revolutionise drug delivery.
