Professor Kurt V. Gothelf is head of the Center for Multifunctional Biomolecular Drug Design. Combined with the competences of the other partners, his background within organic chemistry, bioconjugation and DNA nanotechnology means there are promising prospects to develop multifunctional drugs.

Professor Jørgen Kjems, and Associate Professor Ken Howard, two colleagues from iNANO, will help lead the centre. Jørgen Kjems has extensive expertise within the field of nucleic-acid nanotechnology and drug delivery, while Associate Professor Ken Howard is an expert within drug delivery and pharmacokinetics.

Finally, the centre also involves Professor Tony LaHoutte from Vrije Universiteit in Brussels, who through his extensive experience in clinical studies of bioconjugates will make a crucial contribution in testing the new conjugated drugs.
