Orateur : Alexander N. ZELIKIN (Department of Chemistry and Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre, Aarhus University, Danemark)
Abstract : Biocatalytic impants and nanozymes, antiviral macromolecular prodrugs, innovative bioconjugation techniques ‐ these areas of research are in the focus of my lab and during this presentation, I will discuss our recent findings on these avenues. I will present the development of biocatalytic implants as novel tools for site‐specific drug delivery. We will also discuss the design of nanozymes as fundamentally important materials for biomedicine. Finally, I will outline our recent successes in the design of macromolecular prodrugs as long-acting tools of drug delivery, as broad‐spectrum antiviral agents, and latency reversing agents against HIV. Presentation aims to be of interest for diverse audience, specifically scientists in the fields of polymer science and engineering, medicinal chemistry, biomaterials, and virology.
