Zusammenfassung

Intensive worldwide research efforts are currently being dedicated to explore the potential of synthetic micro- and nanoscopic particles as drug delivery agents (DDAs) in the human vascular system. Most studies focus primarily on the biochemical interaction between a single DDA and a living cell. In contrast, the purpose of the professorship is to understand by means of computer simulations the physical multibody interactions between DDAs and the red blood cells which they encounter on their way from the injection needle through the cardiovascular system towards their target organ. The...
