title: The 2nd Annual Irish Drug Delivery Network Conference with UK and Ireland Controlled Release Society: advancing drug delivery.
abstract: This meeting was part funded by Science Foundation Ireland and by the University College Dublin Seed-Funding program, and was an opportunity for the Irish Drug Delivery Network to invite selected internationally-recognized scientists from across Europe onto a program, together with some of its own principal investigators. The meeting was co-promoted by the UK and Ireland Controlled Release Society. Topics included fluorescent dyes for stability testing of proteins, engineering of nano-containers, peptide-polymer conjugates, designing novel biomaterials, oral liquid-emulsion drug delivery systems, barrier modulation for drug delivery to the eye using siRNA, cell-specific targeting in the lungs, hot-melt extrusion and modified cyclodextrins for delivery of siRNA. The conference was attended by 85 researchers and the Irish Drug Delivery Network co-chairs were Caitriona O'Driscoll (University College Cork) and David Brayden (University College Dublin).
