Hadi Valadi, researcher at the Department of Rheumatology and Inflammation Research, is one of those receiving an industrial doctoral student with funding from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF). The research is carried out in collaboration with AstraZeneca and focuses on understanding the mechanisms that govern how cells transmit genetic signals (RNA) to each other using small endogenous particles known as extracellular vesicles (EVs) or exosomes. The granted project aims to develop an RNA delivery platform based on these extracellular vesicles. The goal is to use this platform to target the transport of drugs, such as mRNA, to specific organs.
