Projectdetails

Introduction

The progression of RNA-based cellular applications in molecular therapy has been greatly hindered due to the difficulty of delivering RNA across biological barriers.

Background

Interest has therefore grown in the development of carrier systems which can facilitate RNA delivery in a controlled manner.

Project Objectives

Herein, we use peptide-based binders to stabilize and deliver double-stranded RNA. The main goals of this project are:

  1. The identification of lead candidates with robust cell delivery in relevant cell lines.
  2. To be fit for partnering with a company and/or securing follow-up resources.
