Ilya Yakavets is a co-directed PhD student in Université de Lorraine (Nancy, France) and in Belarussian State University (Minsk, Belarus). He defended his Master degree in Belarussian State University (Minsk, Belarus) in 2016 in the field of Biophysics. Presently, his PhD research focuses on the application of hybrid nanosized photosensitizer carriers based on liposomes and cyclodextrins in photodynamic therapy. The current abstract describes PhD study results of development and application of drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposome nanoparticles to improved delivery of porphyrin photosensitizer to the tumor targets. The presentation this PhD project at BioSE Doctoral School (Nancy, France) was awarded by the first prize in 2017.
