Projects
Liposomes have revolutionized a wide range of fields including food and active packaging, offering targeted and controlled release of sensitive bioactive molecules. Yet, challenges persist regarding their structural stability and efficiency. In this exploratory project, Beta-LPS aims to harness the architecture of algae bilayers to address these challenges and pave the way for the development of next-generation liposomes. Betaine lipids are components of algae membranes, providing biological bilayers with unique thermodynamics. Can Betaine Lipids Enhance the Stability of Liposomal Systems Compared to Conventional Phospholipid Membranes? “Beta-LPS” delves with the unorthodox idea that mimicking the resilient mechanisms employed by marine organisms to adapt to environmental stressors will enhance the performance of liposomal delivery systems. Beta-LPS can lead to the discovery of novel building blocks to design high-performance and robust lipid-based delivery systems, nurturing the advancement of high-end blue technology applications.Description
