Virus Like Particle (VLP)

VLPs (with a diameter of 27.5 nm) display multiple copies of peptides on their surfaces, enabling the study of multivalency on cellular targeting and internalization.

The National Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors is funded by Grant Number PHS 2 PN2 EY016570B from the National Institutes of Health through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research and is based at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Partner institutions include University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology, Sandia National Laboratories, Wabash College, University of California, Davis, and the University of New Mexico, University of Illinois at Chicago, Weill Cornell Medical College, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
