Diagnosis/Therapy Using ‘Smart’ Nanoparticles-Kit Consisting of Self-Assemble Copolymers and Block Copolymers

Various types of ‘smart’ polymeric nanoparticles consisting of multi-stimuli responsive copolymers have been applied in a wide range of fields. In this seminar, the ‘smart’ nanoparticles-kit is introduced as my current research. The kit is composed of the separated self-assemble copolymers and block copolymers. By the combination of the mixed copolymers, we can design/prepare the desirable nanoparticles for application in both diagnosis and therapy. This system will contribute to reduction of experimental cost and time for development of new nanoparticles.
