Optimising Drug Delivery
This one day conference brings together leading Principal Investigators from the SFI-funded Irish Drug Delivery Research Network Cluster (IDDN) with selected invited international speakers on the topic of novel advanced technologies and assessment systems of drug delivery. The conference attempts to increase the networking capacity of IDDN through co-sponsorship with the UK-Ireland Chapter of the Controlled Release Society (UKICRS).
Topics to be discussed include polymeric peptide conjugates for oral delivery, modified cyclodextrins for siRNA delivery, transdermal delivery with microneedles, in vitro models of pulmonary delivery as well as a review of the current status of gene delivery vectors. Funding for the meeting is provided by a UCD Seed Funding Award. Lunch, tea and coffee, closing reception and a delegate pack will be provided.
