The Nanomedicinelab @ UMC Utrecht uses natural and synthetic nanoparticles to improve diagnosis and therapy. We do translational research, where challenges in healthcare guide scientific research. Key areas of expertise are extracellular vesicles (such as exosomes and microvesicles), non-coding RNA and synthetic drug delivery systems (such as liposomes and polymers). Our work spans the entire nanomedicine field from particle assembly and characterization to study of in vitro and in vivo behavior.
