Smart Biomaterials for Drug Delivery
Timeslot: Friday, April 29, 2022 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm
Room: Kent A-C, 4th Floor
About
Smart biomaterials (i.e., targeted and/or stimuli-responsive) have great potential for efficient delivery of therapeutics, increasing therapeutic activity, while avoiding biological barriers and decreasing toxicity and other adverse effects like drug resistance. Both endogenous and exogeneous stimuli have been utilized to trigger stimuli-responsive materials including pH, temperature, ionic strength, chemical and/or mechanical microenvironment, redox potential, and light. Similarly, many targeting mechanisms ranging from passive (e.g., enhanced permeation and retention) to active targeting approaches (e.g., antibody, nucleic acid, peptide ligand functionalization) have been integrated into targeted drug delivery systems. This session will focus on the development and use of such materials for applications including, but not limited to, cancer, and infectious, orthopedic, ophthalmic, and autoimmune diseases.
