THIRD INTERNATIONAL NANOMEDICINE AND DRUG DELIVERY SYMPOSIUM
Sept. 26-27, 2005
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
The organizing committee would like to welcome you to the Third International Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium to be held in Baltimore, Maryland.
The convergence of recent advances in nanotechnology with modern biology and medicine has created the new research domain of nanobiotechnology. The use of nanobiotechnology in medicine is termed nanomedicine.
Nanomedicine research includes the development of diagnostics for rapid monitoring, targeted cancer therapies, localized drug delivery, improved cell material interactions, scaffolds for tissue engineering, and gene delivery systems.
The focus of this symposium will be on recent advances in nanomedicine with emphasis in the delivery of bioactive agents for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes using polymeric biomaterials. The symposium will be held right before the 2005 Annual Biomedical Engineering Society Meeting in Baltimore.
