The targeted drug delivery system will enable us to administer drugs to women for the treatment of preterm labour, that previously were unable to be administered to women due to affects on other organs. Our approach utilises liposomes, a kind of organic nanoparticle capable of carrying a drug payload, that we have now modified in order to target the liposomes specifically to a marker expressed on the uterine tissue.
