  1. WP 5: Target cell uptake and intracellular trafficking of siRNA/pDNA nanoparticles WP leader: Ghent Laboratory of General Biochemistry and Physical Pharmacy

  2. WP5 Objectives: • Contribute to understand the intracellular behaviour of siRNA/pDNA nanoparticles in cancer and endothelial cells. • Identify the most critical steps in delivery of siRNA/pDNA to target cells, depending on type of nanoparticles. • Use this knowledge to design nanocarriers in WP1/WP3 for succesfull in vivo delivery of nucleic acids to cancer and endothelial cells.

  3. WP5 progress in Year 2 WP5 activities were continued as planned for year 3 of MEDITRANS
