Gordon Research Seminar

Cellular Targeting of Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy, Diagnostics and Imaging

Conference Description

The second Gordon Research Seminar on Cancer Nanotechnology will bring together graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

Nanotechnology holds great promise for cancer therapy, diagnostics, and imaging, but directing nanoparticles to target cells within the body presents a complex challenge. The 2019 GRS will examine interactions of nanoparticles with the cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment, while exploring new strategies for cell-targeting in the context of cancer. By bringing together individuals spanning diverse disciplines from cancer biology to chemical engineering we will gain new insights for harnessing nanotechnology in the fight against cancer.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Cancer Nanotechnology" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
