Collaborative work between the NanoPharmaceutical Lab at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO), Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and the Novozymes owned company Albumedix have uncovered a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-dependent endosomal cellular sorting pathway. This has great importance in describing fundamental mechanisms of intracellular human serum albumin (HSA) recycling, and the possibility to tune albumin-based therapeutic effects. Findings recently published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

This year Simon Frøhlich, former PhD student in the research group of Henrik Birkedal, is one of the AUFF prize recipients for his work during his PhD studies.

Simon demonstrated the adhesion strategy of the Anomia mollusc and this can pave the way for developing useful new bio-inspired material.
