Toulouse-INSA-UPS # CALIPSO: the rise of smart liposomes in cancer treatment # Our team iGEM Toulouse tackles the challenge of side effects in cancer treatment with CALIPSO, an intelligent therapeutic liposome. It senses cancer biomarkers, produces the anticancer drug in situ, and delivers it right on the tumor site. By combining in silico protein design, genetic biosensors, cell-free protein synthesis, and biochemical network modeling, we devised an integrated liposomal platform with cell-like functionalities to specifically kill cancer cells. ...
