Developing smarter nanoparticles is critical for maximising the potential of biological therapeutics such as nucleic acids. Currently, the efficiency of nanoparticle delivery remains low due to the inability of carriers to migrate different biological regions. The aim of this project is to develop responsive polymer nanoparticles that can more effectively migrate cell barriers by a two-staged release based on the combination of different self-immolative polymers. This project will allow the development of design rules for understanding how nanoparticle structure can be optimised to improve nucleic acid delivery. This work will have important benefits such as developing new nanotechnology industry and skilled graduates for Australia.

开发更智能的纳米颗粒对于最大限度地发挥核酸等生物疗法的潜力至关重要。目前，由于载体无法迁移到不同的生物区域，纳米颗粒的递送效率仍然较低。该项目的目的是开发响应性聚合物纳米颗粒，通过基于不同自毁聚合物组合的两阶段释放，可以更有效地迁移细胞屏障。该项目将允许开发设计规则，以了解如何优化纳米颗粒结构以改善核酸递送。这项工作将为澳大利亚发展新的纳米技术产业和培养熟练的毕业生等带来重要的好处。
