Project description
Intracellular delivery of high molecular weight biological molecules is a prerequisite both for fundamental cell biological research as well as for the production of engineered therapeutic cells. This project aims at substantially improving this process for hard-to-transfect cells by combining the strengths of photoporation and electrophoresis, two unrelated techniques that belong to the respective expertises of both promoters.
