Intelligent Strategies for Optimal Virtual Network Function Placement in 5G Core

The proposed project aims at developing novel algorithms for the 5G Core Network Placement to meet Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The ultimate goal is to minimize the number of virtual network functions in 5G packet core while meeting the latency requirements. Thus, this project aims to address the trade-off between latency and operational costs in […]

Developing a novel pharmacoviral approach combining immunemodulatory antibody-drug conjugates with oncolytic viruses for enhanced immunotherapeutic efficacy

Vector potentiator (VEPOs) are compounds that can enhance the ability of cancer-killing viruses to replicate and kill cancer cells. However, administering these compounds can be problematic as they are inherently toxic. To remedy this problem, we will link these compounds to a highly specific antibody, Trastuzumab, forming a new antibody-drug conjugate compound, T-VEPO. By means […]
