Biomaterials (08b)

#157 - Biomaterials for Gene Therapy and Drug Delivery (08B04)
This session will cover the design and utilization of biomaterials for gene therapy and drug delivery applications with particular focus on how biomaterial properties (e.g. mechanical properties, chemical composition, degradation kinetics, micro/nano-structure, etc.) match the specific gene therapy or drug delivery application. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, stimuli-sensitive or targeted delivery, enhancement of transfection efficiency with specific biomaterial properties, novel biomaterials for macromolecular delivery, and influence of biomaterials on intracellular trafficking or transport of drugs.
