title: Conference Scene: nanomedicine kindles the development of the 'elixir of life'.
abstract: For the seventh time, nanomedicine experts from around the globe congregated in SAS Nagar, Punjab, for the Fourth Winter School on Nanotechnology in Advanced Drug Delivery, organized by the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Mohali, India. The program covered almost all the scintillating areas of nanomedicine, including novel nanosystems for oral, ocular and transdermal drug delivery, nanostructured surfaces for medical applications, 'smart' nanobullets for site-specific drug and gene delivery, designer nanoparticles for therapeutic delivery, tissue engineering and nanobiocomposites, cancer nanotherapy, and novel analytical and diagnostic tools. Special emphasis was given to the commercialization of nanomedical products, including issues related to intellectual property and risk management.
