Feb212020 Doctoral thesisLiposomes for mucosal vaccine delivery: physicochemical characterization and biological applicationLiposomes are attractive vaccine carriers due to their potential to act as adjuvants, and to the fact that their composition and characteristics are virtually endlessly customizable. However, the precise physicochemical profile of an ideal carrier... Author: Karin Norling. Opponent: Camilla Foged, Københavns Universitet, Copenhagen.   10:00  Location: Kollektorn, MC2-huset.
