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. http://www.microfluidicscorp.com/webinars
