SUMMARY:
Therapeutic strategies based on nucleic acids have been introduced. As years ago, when recombinant proteins began to be developed as drugs, with nucleic acids we are again on the brink of a revolution in drug development. The lack of delivery technologies is a major bottleneck for their breakthrough. Our research group represents a rather exceptional team of intensively collaborating scientists developing delivery technologies for nucleic acids and proteins. -
