Project details
Synthesis and applications of non-viral gene vectors
The general aim of this project is to develop a new generation of non-viral vectors for the delivery of gene and biomolecules. Silica-based composite nanoparticles will be prepared with purpose-designed nanoparticle asymmetry, nanoscale surface roughness and compositions. Their cellular interactions and cellular delivery performance will be comprehensively studied to deliver new understanding of the relationship between unconventional nanostructural parameters and gene/biomolecular delivery efficacy. The potential applications of these particles will be tested in mRNA, DNA and protein delivery applications both in vitro and in vivo.
