Multifunctional Peptide Nanoparticles for Drug Targeting, Drug Delivery and Imaging Applications

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

We have recently invented and developed a novel type of nanoparticles based on peptides as building blocks. By attaching a targeting unit, one or several different drugs, and/or biomarkers, multifunctional peptide nanoparticles can be designed for a wide range of in vivo and ex vivo biomedical applications. Here we propose to functionalize these peptide nanoparticles as 1. multifunctional drug targeting and delivery devices and 2. as imaging tools for multiplexed screening applications.
