New nanomaterials for regenerative medicine is to be discussed at Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology conference

(Nanowerk News) Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific field that is currently undergoing explosive development. Nano-enhanced medicines are opening new opportunities for therapeutic delivery and targeting, technology is also allowing agents that previously could not be used effectively as conventional formulations due to poor bioavailability or drug instability to advance into clinical development. However, there are still a number of concerns remaining concerning toxicological aspects and ethical implications.
SMi is proud to present their Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology: Applications & Commercialisation conference, taking place in London on 29th and 30th June, 2011.
