"Dendrimer nanotechnology for personalized medicine"

Nanotechnology is widely expected to bring breakthroughs in specific delivery of the right pharmaceutics to the right patient at the right disease lesion. Dendrimers are ideal nanocarrier for drug delivery by virtue of their uniquely well-defined structure and multivalent cooperativity confined within a nanoscale. We have established bioinspired structurally flexible and self-assembling supramolecular dendrimers for drug and nucleic acid delivery. These dendrimers are excellent for personalized medicine: they are able to form modular, adaptive and responsive nanosystems, and effectively deliver various chemo- and bio-therapeutics as well as imaging agents for precise diagnosis and personalized medicine, offering new perspectives in nanotechnology based biomedical applications.
