Henry Brem of Johns Hopkins University will discuss "The chang- ing role of drug delivery in brain tumor therapy." Tuesday Amar Sawhney of Ocular Therapeutix will talk about applications of crosslinked PEG hydrogels. On Wednesday Pala Hammond of MIT will present "Nanolayers for drug delivery: From cancer to wound healing." Scientific sessions The educational program includes "Advances in manufacture, character- ization, stability, and regulation," which covers scaleup of commer- cially viable processes and methods to prepare and characterize con- trolled-release products; "Delivery of drug combinations," which focuses on identifying effective drug combi- nations and their formulation and development; and "Delivery tech- nologies in nutraceuticals, foods, and oral products," which examines all The annual Controlled Release Society (CRS) meeting and exposi- tion will take place July 16-19 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, MA. Organizers anticipate more than 50 exhibitors and 1,200 industry and academic professionals. Visitors can attend pre-meeting workshops, ple- nary sessions, and scientific sessions focused on delivery science and tech- nology. Pre-meeting workshops Half-day and full-day workshops are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 15 and 16. They include "Basic concepts of oral drug delivery," chaired by Daniel Bar- Shalom of the University of Copenhagen. Presentations will cover topics such as pharmacokinet- ics and principles of drug release, challenges of immediate-release for- mulations, methods to improve solu- bility, modified-release formulations, mucoadhesion, formulation analytics, and characterization of in vitro drug product behavior. Plenary sessions Each day of the conference will feature a different plenary speaker. Sunday afternoon, Robert Langer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will present "Controlled drug delivery systems and the creation of new medical treatments." Monday morning, What?
