Jun 1 First Friday Bioscience Seminar: “High Shear Processing of Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery.”
“High Shear Processing of Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery.”
Topic: Drug delivery in the form of nanoparticles provides a way to ensure that hydrophobic drugs offer high bioavailability. Microfluidics PureNanoTM high shear processing technology produces drug particles from the “bottom up” in the form of nanocrystals, or polymer encapsulated drugs, which are necessary to deliver effectively hydrophobic drugs with high bioavailability.
Description
Join scientists and executives from local biomedical companies for the North Shore Technology Council’s First Friday Bioscience seminar series, sponsored by the Biomedical Technology Section. In this informal venue you will meet industry peers, learn about the science behind area biomedical companies, and hear how they tackle business challenges.
