Centre of Excellence In Molecular Cell Engineering
Delivery systems
WP leader: Ülo Langel
General concept. For the manipulation of living cells, small chemical probes or nucleic acids need to be delivered into the cells. Those delivery systems will be developed.
Projects
- D1. Efficient delivery to different cell types
- D2. Disease‐targeted delivery systems
Long‐term goal
To create improved delivery systems for all cell types included in the current application. One of the long‐term challenges will be the development of delivery systems for in vivo applications where whole tissues, organs or organism will be effectively targeted. Cell Penetrating Peptides, liposomes and their combinations will be tested. In addition, combinations of the non‐viral and viral delivery systems will be tested.
