2010 DDP Awards: Technology Innovation Nominee: Wallace H. Coulter Center for Translational Research, University of Miami

Technology: a novel Nanoparticle which offers unique targeted in vivo delivery of nucleic acids into Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) resulting in robust / protective immune responses.

The platform is not only ideal for “Genetic Vaccination” as it targets APC and activates helper T cells, it, incidentally, may be used as delivery of nucleic acids including siRNA into such mononuclear cells which has broad therapeutic applications. Wallace H. Coulter Center of the University of Miami is a technology development center for biomedical innovation. WHCC is unique in acting as a catalyst for moving innovative University of Miami research with commercial potential from the bench to industry.

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, January 26 at the Drug Delivery Partnerships International Conference.
