Ph. D. student
University of Copenhagen, Denmark
I am currently a PhD student in Prof. Camilla Foged's Vaccine Design and Delivery Group, University of Copenhagen. My research focus is on unravelling the design criteria for targeted nanoparticle-mediated RNAi combination therapy of COPD. The project aims to increase the understanding of the basic requirements for controlling and sustaining the delivery of the siRNA cargo to lung tissue for local management of disease.
