Session: Drug Delivery II (2010 Annual Meeting)

Description:

This session deals with the latest advances in drug delivery methods and related technologies. Specific topics of interest include (not limited to) novel materials and devices for drug delivery, targeting strategies, conjugation/loading/release of new therapeutics, and synergistic technologies with drug delivery (e.g., combined imaging and therapy). New theoretical findings and useful biological models (in vitro and in vivo; diseases) for drug delivery are also welcome.
