Purdue mRNA therapy delivery system proves to be shelf-stable, storable

These results could address challenges faced by lipid nanoparticle delivery systems

In the second episode of our new EXplained series, we highlight the #ClusterofExcellence NUCLEATE. At our #university, it is represented by Stefan Engelhardt, who shares insights into #nucleic-acid based #medicine: http://go.tum.de/139582

Nucleic acids as key to a new class of drugs

In our "EXplained" video series, we present the seven Clusters of Excellence with which our university is entering the next funding phase of the Excellence Strategy. In the second episode, we get to know the new cluster NUCLEATE, which is represented at TUM by Prof. Stefan Engelhardt.
