Session 02:Targeted Drug delivery system
'Targeted drug delivery system is a special form of drug delivery system where the medicament is selectively targeted or delivered only to its site of action or absorption and not to the non-target organs or tissues or cells.' Targeted drug delivery systems have been developed to optimize regenerative techniques. The system is based on a method that delivers a certain amount of a therapeutic agent for a prolonged period of time to a targeted diseased area within the body. This helps maintain the required plasma and tissue drug levels in the body, thereby preventing any damage to the healthy tissue via the drug. The drug delivery system is highly integrated and requires various disciplines, such as chemists, biologists, and engineers, to join forces to optimize this system.
Session 03:Anticancer drug delivery agents
Anticancer agents are typically administered to the patients to kill cancer cells. These drugs work in two ways: by killing the cancer cells through direct exposure to the chemical agent and by inducing apoptosis (suicide of cancer cells). Current treatment strategies for cancer suffer from severe limitations, including nonspecific biodistribution of the chemotherapeutic agent, dose-limiting toxicity, and emerging drug resistance. As a result, novel cancer therapies such as liposomal drug delivery systems have rapidly evolved.
Session 04:Medical devices
