After the success of the previous workshop on nanodrug delivery held in Rome in 2010, we are pleased to invite you to attend the congress Nanodrug delivery: from the bench to the patient. The symposium will focus on the various steps involved in the translation of new nanoparticles from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside.
During the last decade a large number of nanoparticles have been developed and applied in various fields of medicine, including imaging, diagnosis, therapy and regenerative medicine. They have been specifically designed to promote the transport of diagnostic or therapeutic agents through biologic barriers, to reach defined targets, to mediate molecular interactions, to respond to specific local or external stimuli, and to detect defined biomolecules. Some of them are currently used in clinical protocols, some are in clinical trials, a multitude of them are still in preclinical development. All of them have arised considerable optimism in terms of unanticipated and unlimited opportunities in therapeutic treatment and diagnostics.
