Collaboration on the Optimisation of Macromolecular Pharmaceutical Access to Cellular Targets (COMPACT)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

Most biopharmaceuticals (BP) currently on the market are recombinant proteins which are parenterally administered. These would benefit from more patient-friendly routes of administration. Moreover, new classes of BP (e.g. siRNA, miRNA, DARPins) with specificity for intracellular targets hold promise but await the advent of efficient delivery systems before their potential can be realised into ther ...
