Drug Delivery--Select Biosciences Inaugural Summit. 2-4 September 2009, London, UK.
The Drug Delivery - Select Biosciences Inaugural Summit, held in London, included topics covering recent advances in delivery systems for the controlled release of small-molecule drugs and larger biologicals, particularly nucleic acids, peptides and proteins. This conference report highlights selected presentations on image-guided drug delivery; the delivery of nucleic acids, peptoids, peptides and proteins; and formulation and solubility research. Technological approaches discussed include polymeric nanomedicines, nucleic acid-based therapeutics, the solid-dose injector Glide SDA, polyamino acid-based nanocarriers, polylactide glycolic acid microspheres, and enhanced biopharmaceutical products such as CriticalMix and CriticalSorb, PolyPEG, microspheres and cell-penetrating peptides.
