eBook: Non-viral vectors: lipid nanoparticles

Written by Megan Giboney (Contributing Editor)

Lipid nanoparticles are the most clinically advanced non-viral gene delivery system. Their ability to encapsulate and protect fragile nucleic acids, such as DNA, mRNA, and siRNA, while facilitating their efficient delivery into cells makes them a promising platform for gene delivery.  

In this eBook, produced in collaboration with Precision NanoSystems (Vancouver, Canada), we’ll explore several pivotal applications of lipid nanoparticles. These include their role in mRNA-based vaccines, like those developed for COVID-19, and their utilization in the targeted delivery of siRNA molecules to address conditions like cancer.  

We’ll also explore how lipid nanoparticles are advancing the field of cell therapy in our interview with Sadik Kassim, Chief Technology Officer of Genomic Medicines at Danaher Corporation (DC, USA).
