Novel Drug Delivery Systems Credits: 3

Catalog description

The course offers up-to-date information about drug transport mechanisms and drug absorption processes across various absorptive membranes (i.e., buccal, nasal, dermal, corneal, pulmonary, and oral mucosae). The course material has been designed to provide current ideas and thinking about gene delivery, drug targeting to tumor cells and lipid and carrier mediated drug delivery. It provides unique information about cell culture models as a predictor of drug delivery as well as physical chemistry of surfaces in various microparticulates and lipid emulsion systems.
