Crossing Biological Barriers - Advances in Nanocarrier Design for Targeted Drug Delivery - International Conference

The international conference will address the latest developments in nanocarrier-based targeted drug delivery systems, specifically designed to overcome biological barriers. The event will connect academic and industrial players, creating synergies between different disciplines.

9 November 2015 - 11 November 2015
Germany
This innovative event is jointly organised by the European Projects TRANS-INT, COMPACT and ALEXANDER, all three dealing with cutting-edge nanomedicine drug delivery topics. For further information, please visit: www.dechema.de/CBB2015

Biological barriers within the human body are a pivotal prerequisite for life. On the other hand, these barriers such as epithelia, endothelia and cell membranes also represent a significant obstacle. Thus, the efficient and safe delivery of a drug from the site of Administration to the site of action can often be considered a relevant scientific and
technological challenge.

On 9-11 November 2015, Crossing Biological Barriers – Advances in Nanocarrier Design for Targeted Drug Delivery will take place in the beautiful city of Dresden. The international conference will address the latest developments in nanocarrier-based targeted drug delivery systems, specifically designed to overcome biological barriers. Oral
presentations will be accompanied by a large poster session. The event will connect academic and industrial players, creating synergies between different disciplines.

The single-stream mode of the conference will provide you with the chance to follow every talk, thus maximising your participation at this meeting. This innovative event is jointly organised by the European Projects TRANS-INT, COMPACT and ALEXANDER, all three dealing with cutting-edge nanomedicine drug delivery topics.
