Project Title: Synthesis of TLR Agonists and Peptide Antigens for Cancer Therapy
Group: Colloids and Biological Interfaces
Supervisor(s): Thomas. L. Andresen, Martin Bak
Project Description:
This PhD is part of a larger research project focusing on drug delivery to the immune system to enhance an anti-cancer response in the tumor microenvironment. More specifically, the aim of this PhD project is to design and synthesize different immunotherapeutic drugs, pro-drugs and drug delivery systems in order to obtain an improved anti-cancer profile.
Perspective:
Immunotherapy has become an attractive strategy in the past decade as it has shown great potential in the fight against cancer. The design and investigation of immune-targeted delivery platforms for immunotherapeutic drugs will be an important tool for developing the next generation of improved anti-cancer immunotherapy.
