project and deals with the characterization and recovery of bionanoparticles for vaccine delivery and gene therapy. Overall, 14 Doctoral Candidates will be trained at seven institutions in five European countries and will be supported by a network of industrial
and academic partners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In my group at FAU you will deal with the multidimensional characterization of bionanoparticles (e.g., AAV gene-therapy vectors and VLPs) using a toolset of different analytical ultracentrifugation techniques,
which are complemented by other sizing techniques such as nanoparticle tracking analysis and dynamic light scattering. Experimental characterization will be combined with modelling tools such as Brownian dynamics or bead modelling to predict transport properties,
validate experimental results and provide operation parameters for continuous flow ultracentrifuges.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
