Making science work

Target groups

The course is designed for all scientists involved in the research, development and manufacture of Lipid Nano Particles (LNPs).

Objective

Lipid Nano Particles (LNPs) are a break-through in drug delivery of RNA for vaccination (COVID-19) and hepatocyte targeting (Onpattro). The course addresses the challenges and opportunities academic and industrial pharmaceutical research have to further profit from this revolution. Top experts in this field will review, the specific lipids and RNAs used in LNPs, the stabilization of LNPs by means of lyophilization, regulatory and toxicological aspects of new lipid excipients in LNPs, organ targeting of LNPs beyond hepatocytes and finally the ongoing and future clinical use of LNPs.
