Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery
Find out about our development of two novel nanometer-scale systems for targeted intravenous drug delivery. One is based on a bi-layer in bi-layer multi-compartmental structure that shows remarkably extended drug release profiles compared to conventional bi-layer liposomes. The second system is a core-shell nanoparticle that can be externally triggered by pulsed near infrared light to deliver its contents on demand by local heating and melting of the nanoparticle cores. Both systems take advantage of their small size to preferentially target tumor and inflammation sites.
