Lacritin-incorporated nanoparticles as new and improved treatment of dry eye disease
We are developing the protein lacritin, which is found in tears, to become a medicine for dry eye disease.
Completed research projects
-
Nanoparticulate drug carriers for delivery of cutting-edge antimicrobials to biofilms
We are developing nanoparticles that can act as carriers for new antibiotics to better treat biofilm-based infections.
-
Smart Development of nano-antibiotics
The project seeks to develop drug formulations of novel antimicrobials, so-called bacteriocins, by applying nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.
