Funded Activity Summary

There is huge interest in the development of bioactive peptides and proteins for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. However, the biggest challenge in the development of peptide and protein drugs is overcoming their poor stability in the human body. The aim of my research is to develop novel methods that provide therapeutically promising peptides and proteins the ability to resist the body’s natural degradation pathways so they can reach their biological target and act as effective drugs.
