Supramolecular Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery, Imaging, and Immunoengineering

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 4:45pm to 6:15pm
Room: Virtual

About

Due to their versatility and diversity in materials properties, a wide range of biomedical applications have emerged in recent years using supramolecular nanomaterials. The bottom up approach to design functional objects at the nanoscale have been used to develop individual nanoparticles or to produce highly oriented materials for a growing number of applications including drug delivery, imaging, theranostics, vaccines, and immunotherapy. In addition, there are exciting opportunities for local therapeutic modulation.  This session highlights recent advances in nanomaterials designs aimed to enhance the in vivo delivery of therapeutic or imaging payloads for a variety of diseases including those affecting the skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, cardiovascular system, cancer, and other diseased tissues.
