Conference Description
The Drug Carriers in Medicine and Biology GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
This year’s seminar will highlight innovative approaches for designing materials and systems to overcome biological barriers in drug delivery. Examples of topics include, but are not limited to, strategies that exploit cellular mechanisms such as endosomal trafficking, identification of structure-activity relationships, applications of artificial intelligence, and the development of both passive and active targeting methods for precision therapeutics. Presentations and discussions will emphasize how these advances can be leveraged to expand the reach and effectiveness of drug carriers in medicine and biology.
In addition to research presentations, the program will feature a career development panel with speakers from academia, industry, government, and science communication. This session will provide trainees with practical insight into navigating career transitions, whether advancing within a chosen path or exploring new opportunities across sectors.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by June 2, 2026. Please check back for updates.
