Biography
Young Tag Ko has his research expertise with nanomedicines and drug delivery systems for nucleic acid therapeutics. Of my research interests are drug delivery systems, in particular, in vivo delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics (pDNA, ODN, RNA) using nanoparticular systems of lipids, polymers, and lipid-polymer combinatory systems such as artificial virus, lipid-modified polymers, and capable of tissue and disease-specific targeting, in particular brain and cardiovascular systems. Understanding the intracellular and extracelluar fate of such systems using various in vitro and in vivo imaging techniques is also of my interest.
