The ICPC Nanonet project (EU funded under FP7) offers you a free open access Nano Archive of nearly 7,000 items including many full texts at http://www.nanoarchive.org. Please contact me if you would like to archive your research and I will create an editor's account for you. I am also interested in communicating with researchers in sub-Saharan Africa for an annual region report. Join the international network at http://www.icpc-nanonet.org. Lesley

Thanks for the invitation. I am interested more in herbal way of medicines. or no medicine requirement at all. however open to studying the latest research in the fiield. More interested in nano sysntensis of herbal substances as cosmetics use nano particles

Multifunctional Nanomedicine:
Opportunity for Targeted Drug and Gene Delivery
May 29, 2009

Dr. AmijiFeatured guest speaker:
Mansoor M. Amiji, Ph.D.

Professor and Interim Chair of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department and Co-Director of Nanomedicine Education and Research Consortium (NERC) at Northeastern University

Webinar Abstract
For many diseases such as cancer, overcoming biologic barriers and target specific delivery are key treatment challenges. Others require robust and highly specific intracellular delivery strategy. The webinar will cover...

* Overview of recent work in nanotechnology for target specific delivery of drugs and genes (polymers, liposomes, metal-based nanoplatforms)
* Biodegradable polymers for systemic delivery of hydrophobic anticancer drugs and therapeutic genes
* Nanoemulsions (using omega-3 oils) to facilitate drug delivery across different biological barriers
* Nanotechnology platforms for systemic and oral gene delivery for anti-angiogenesis and IBD, respectively

After his presentation, Dr. Amiji will field attendee questions.

Researchers at the University of Virginia have discovered a method for destroying tumor cells by using nanoparticles and light. Wensha Yang’s technique is actually dealing with quantum dots. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanoforms which can emit light when exposed to radiation (ultra-violet). The researchers also discovered that the light is being emitted when exposed to x-rays (cancer therapy). That’s why this method is great for treating cancer.

Photofrin (approved by FDA) is the compound which acts as photosensitizer. It gets absorbed by cancer cells. When those cells get exposed to light, the compound becomes active and kills the cancer cells.

Yang has described this method in his talk called “Enhanced Energy Transfer From Mega-Voltage Radiation to the Tumor Cell Killing Singlet Oxygen by Semiconductive Nanoparticles” which took place on Tuesday, July 29, 2008.
