And now, with the recent discovery of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), superior oral bioavailability may be possible with the synergistic effect of CPPs incorporated into nanoparticulate systems. This revolution will make future oral medicines more effective.<\/p>\n I will be investigating the mechanisms involved in the uptake of PACA nanoparticles from the gut of the common brushtail possum and assessing any enhancement effect that CPPs can possibly provide.<\/p>\n Subsequent position:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n After graduating, Jasper\u00a0worked as Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Otago.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" College: University of Otago, New Zealand Email: chize954@student.otago.ac.nz Thesis\u00a0title:\u00a0Designing oligoarginine-associated PECA nanoparticles for enhanced cellular uptake Co-supervisors: Prof. Ian Tucker (School of Pharmacy, University of Otago), Dr Bernie\u00a0McLeod (AgResearch, Invermay) Project description: Poly(alkylcyanoacrylate) or PACA nanoparticles hold great potential and … Continue reading \n\n\n\n
