DESCRIPTION:Transporting therapeutic molecules to their target site in the 
 human body is crucial for the development of successful treatments. Curren
 tly\, nanoparticles are on the rise as carriers for therapeutic molecules 
 as they protect and guide their payload in the human body. The most promin
 ent examples of this are the highly effective vaccines against COVID-19 fr
 om Biontech/Pfizer\, AstraZeneca and Moderna. Here\, therapeutic mRNA mole
 cules are protected by lipid droplets. Nature itself uses lipid droplets f
 or cell-to-cell communication in the human body. These lipid droplets are 
 called exosomes and transport biomolecular payloads such as mRNA and prote
 in. Due to their designation for payload transport\, exosomes have recentl
 y come into focus as natural drug carrying nanoparticles. In my PhD\, I wa
 nt to combine the natural drug delivery properties of exosomes with the en
 gineering precision of synthetic nanocapsules. Therefore\, I aim to envelo
 pe synthetic nanocapsules with the functional membrane of exosomes to crea
 te hybrid nanoparticles for drug delivery.\nSpeaker: Laura Dietz
