Drug Delivery Research Leads to Non-invasive Treatments for Major Diseases

MONROVIA, CA – Being diagnosed with diabetes traditionally leads to insulin routines of up 4 injections per day. And cancer detection can mean enduring invasive treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. But recent advancements in drug delivery technologies are helping to treat these diseases without destroying the patient's quality of life.

An upcoming conference on Drug Delivery Technology will bring together scientists to discuss research aimed at creating safe and non-invasive treatments for cancer, diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease and a host of other conditions.

Presenters will examine Intracellular and Gene Drug Delivery, the Delivery of Biologicals, the Pharmacology of Drug Delivery and Recent Clinical Activities. Peter Hoffman, Vice President of New Technology Development for Genzyme Corporation will deliver the keynote address entitled, “American Revolution in CNS Therapy: CNS Drug Delivery”. Hoffman will be joined at this conference by presenters from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Novartis Vaccines, 3M HealthCare Ltd, Genzyme, Merck, Serono and other leading research organizations.

Drug Delivery Technology is a part of the 2nd Modern Drug Discovery & Development Summit (M3D 2006). The Summit will take place December 4-6, 2006 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Over 250 speakers will participate in 11 concurrent conferences. For more information, visit www.gtcbio.com
