Course Contents
The course objectives are i) to give participants an in-depth overview of important fundamental principles for novel drug delivery and ii) to present methodologies for optimizing delivery of different drug classes ranging from small molecules to complex biomacromolecules (peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and vaccines). The course will cover the enabling role of medical devices in drug delivery technology, drug delivery applications of nanotechnology. This course also reviews the structure of membranes and the variety of ways in which materials travel across membranes by active or passive processes. The course discusses topics including biomembrane transport in drug development, dosage form evaluation and drug delivery techniques overcoming biological membranes.
