Il Prof. FRANK CARUSO, Department of Chemical Engineering, dell'Università di Melbourne, Australia, famoso per i suoi lavori sulle nanoparticelle con applicazioni biologiche nonchè Executive Editor ACS, il giorno 8 settembre alle ore 11:15 presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche e Farmaceutiche in sala del consiglio al piano 1 dell'edificio C11 terrà un seminario dal titolo:

Leveraging Materials Chemistry to Direct Nanoparticles in Biological Systems

Abstract:
Advances in nanoparticle-mediated therapeutic delivery are poised to revolutionize disease treatment and prevention. In particular, the formulation of mRNA into lipid nanoparticles to combat COVID-19 has highlighted the transformative potential of nanoparticle platforms in the pharmaceutical industry and clinical practice. However, distinct types of therapeutics are required to meet specific therapeutic purposes and their encapsulation is typically tailored on a case-by-case basis. This presentation will present a versatile and biomaterial-based nanoparticle platform, whereby diverse therapeutics, including functional small molecules, siRNA, mRNA, and proteins, can be readily assembled into nanoparticles. The encapsulated therapeutics maintain their intrinsic activity and can be released upon exposure to the biological milieu. This nanoparticle platform has potential for usage in a range of applications, including where nanoparticles need to be selectively targeted to different organs.
