The present project aims at both the elaboration of new nanoparticulate vaccines and the further development of their characterization using NMR. I build up core@shell nanospheres composed of silica core and zirconia or hydroxyapatite shell. I attach parts of bacterial DNA onto their surface. Then I use classical (DLS, FTIR, TEM etc.) and state of the art characterization methods e.g. NMR toolbox elaborated at UGent for their analysis and structure optimization. Further, I will spend time in several biology research groups to get trained for the functional testing of my own particles.
