Seminar „Protein delivery in lysosomal storage disorders“

Biomedicum (Ravila 19), room 0088

Estonian Doctoral School invites interested parties to a seminar by Ibane Abasolo Olaortua (PhD, Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red, Bioingeniería, Biomateriales y Nanomedicina (CIBER-BBN), Instituto De Salud Carlos III, Hispaania) on the subject of „Protein delivery in lysosomal storage disorders“.

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare genetic diseases caused by impaired lysosomal function. Current treatments using recombinant proteins face significant challenges in delivering functional proteins to difficult-to-access organs like the brain and bones. Over the years, we have developed and studied innovative delivery vehicles, such as liposomes and extracellular vesicles, capable of transporting functional recombinant proteins, with some successfully reaching the brain.

Ibane Abasolo Olaortua is the opponent of Valeria Sidorenko, who will defend her PhD titled „Novel anthracycline-loaded nanoparticles for precision cancer therapy“ on December 13, at 12:00 in Biomedicum (Ravila 19, room 1006).
