Improving Therapeutic Delivery by Understanding Nanoparticle Interactions with Cells [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Angus Johnston (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Georgina Such ,  Dr Justine Mintern

Brief description Nanotechnology has the potential to transform the way we treat many diseases. This project will investigate how nanoengineered particles can be used to improve the effectiveness of vaccines. Nanoparticles can protect the delicate vaccine cargo from degradation, and will be targeted specifically to the cells in the body that most effectively induce the maximum theraputic response. This study will improve our understanding of how nanovaccines work and develop new ways of delivering vaccines.
