Tijana joins the Lundbeck Foundation Investigators Network
Published:
Tijana Miseljic, head of DYNAMO, has joined the Lundbeck Foundation Investigators Network (LFIN) as one of its 24 new members. The network brings together researchers from across the Lundbeck Foundation community, and its new members met for the first time at a first gathering in Copenhagen (photo above). The next gathering is in November.

Nose-to-brain drug delivery
The brain is protected by barriers that keep out most drugs. The nasal route offers a non-invasive way around them. We develop micromotors that actively transport drugs along this route, toward needle-free treatment of brain diseases.
Oral drug delivery
Drugs taken by mouth must cross the mucus that lines the gut before they can be absorbed. We build self-propelled microdevices and enteric microneedles that push through this layer, to make oral delivery of drugs more effective.
SERS sensing
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) identifies molecules by their spectral fingerprints. We turn micromotors into moving SERS sensors: their motion stirs the surrounding liquid and brings more molecules to the sensing surface, for faster and more reliable detection of drugs and biomarkers. This builds on world-leading SERS expertise at DTU, together with Prof. Anja Boisen.
Skin & wound therapy
Chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers heal slowly, and bacterial biofilms on their surface block treatment. We combine micromotors with microneedles to deliver drugs locally into the wound, and use light-driven nanomotors that move into and break down biofilms.
