Objective

The proposal focuses on synthetic gene delivery vectors designed for gene therapy. It aims at getting better understanding of one critical aspect of the mode of action of synthetic vectors; the mechanism by which vectors facilitate DNA entry into the cell. The proposal is of a fundamental nature, but its results may be applicable for the design of improved delivery systems.
