Peptidic Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy and Diagnosis

Graff A., Tropel D., Raman SK., Machaidze G., Lustig A., Burkhard P., University of Basel, CH

Somatostatin peptides such as somatostatin 28 or 14 are known for their high binding affinity to G-coupled peptide receptors, which are often over-expressed on tumor cells. Using this binding property we developed a new type [...]

Peptide Based Nanoparticles as a Platform for Vaccine Design

Raman S.K., Kao D.J., Tropel D., Graff A., Machaidze G., Hodges R.S., Burkhard P., Biozentrum, CH

To-date vaccines for many of the dreadful diseases such as Tuberculosis, Malaria, AIDS and Hepatitis are still ineffective or unavailable. Peptide based vaccines have been developed but because of their poor immunogenic response and the [...]
