The DelSiTech ® drug delivery technology is a result of a cross-disciplinary project including top researchers from the University of Turku and the Swedish-speaking University in Turku called Åbo Akademi. The Biomaterial Research Group includes dentists, physicians, chemists, engineers and pharmacists and is globally one of the largest of its kind in the research of bioactive glass, sol-gel and glass fiber reinforced materials mainly for dental, orthopedic and drug delivery applications.
After the transfer of the technology, DelSiTech has started the industrialization process of the same. By combining the in depth know-how and IPR of silica chemistry with the newest nano technology it has been possible to encapsulate and controllably release extremely labile viruses and proteins to clinically useful applications. As the result of this work DelSiTech is today the leading company in the world in the field of controlled delivery of viruses. This application is expected to become soon a highly interesting and important field e.g. in the treatment of cancer.
It has been reported in several major international scientific congresses and publications that this technology works well in animal with small molecular drugs and live virus. The technology is protected by 9 international patent families. DelSiTech has today several projects under development with companies in Europe, USA and Asia.
