Abstract of the proposed UNIPhD research project

 

Nucleic acid (NA) has broad clinical applications in treating diseases. However, free-form NA undergoes rapid enzymatic degradation. The present study uses bioconjugation to yield polyplexes with a protected structure that will replace the low-performing NA delivery systems in use.
