"Smart" Self-Assembly Nanostructures for Delivery of Nucleic Acids

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Nanosized drug and gene delivery systems promise to significantly improve the way we treat and prevent numerous diseases. New generations of drug and gene delivery systems are being designed to further enhance efficiency by utilizing a variety of endogenous and external stimuli for controlling the activity of the delivery systems. This presentation will focus on gene delivery systems with activity controlled by redox potential gradients and on delivery systems with activity controlled by temperature.
