The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $767,077 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The funded research seeks to validate and extend a platform technology for the delivery of protein-based drugs, with a focus on applying it to thrombolytic (clot-dissolving) enzymes. The bioengineering strategy involves the designed assembly of endogenous biomolecules, including thrombolytic enzymes and vitamin B12, to create a biocompatible drug delivery platform that uses the circulatory system as a natural drug depot and releases the therapeutic at the diseased site in a photon-targeted fashion. The research addresses key issues such as accommodating various thrombolytic proteins, multi-drug synergism, deep tissue penetration, and therapeutic efficacy and safety. The award period runs from January 15, 2025, to December 30, 2028.
