Presenting: Polymer Targeted Therapeutics; Learning from our Failures
Nanoparticle therapeutics have been expected to revolutionize drug delivery and improve therapeutics for many diseases including cancer. However, most nanoparticle therapeutics have failed during development. I will discuss issues related to the development of nanoparticle therapeutics that have led to failures using our own research as a guide. I will also provide alternative approaches that may finally facilitate the development of these therapeutics.
All-division colloquium.
