Funded Activity Summary

The aim of this project is to develop an immune-mediated ‘smart bomb’ concept of drug delivery into atherosclerotic plaques for the prevention of plaque rupture. An overwhelming majority of fatal heart attacks and sudden death all over the world result from plaque rupture; making this research highly important in finding a bio-technologically advanced way of preventing heart attacks and sudden death in patients with coronary artery disease.
