Scope of Symposium

This symposium will highlight current challenges and new concepts in the delivery of therapeutics including small molecular drugs, peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells, and mainly focus on cancer therapy. Topics will address biological barriers for delivery of therapeutics, and novel materials that are designed and developed to overcome these barriers. In addition, strategies for combinatorial drug delivery will be discussed to combat multidrug-resistant problems.
