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 GRS will allow graduate students, postdocs, and other scientists at early stages to share their latest research while connecting with peers in their field and conducting novel investigations of their own. These research sessions will explore the ever-expanding strategies for drug localization. Specifically, this will include projects on novel targets for drug carriers, active and passive targeting strategies, methods of fine-tuning drug carriers for desired tropism, and influencing intracellular trafficking. Additionally, there will be a panel session focused on navigating transitions that will feature speakers spanning career paths across academia, start-ups, established companies, and science communication. This session will allow attendees to gain insight into successfully transitioning between roles–whether that means advancing within one career trajectory or switching to a new career path.
