Development of Manufacturing Processes of Supramolecular Nanodevices for Practical Gene Therapy

Research Project Outline

To realize safe and effective gene therapy, we are going to develop supramolecular nanodevices with multiple smart functions integrated into a nanometric-scale through the self-assembly of nanomaterials elaborated by advanced polymer synthesis. Intensive study will be done to confirm the functions and safety of nanodevices justified for their practical clinical applications. Also, we will establish efficient manufacturing processes for such smart nanodevices. The goal of this project is to establish new basis for the practical use of nanodevices in the treatment of three major diseases of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and movement disorders in aged society.
