The Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium September 13-15, 2024

The 22nd International Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium, or nanoDDS, will be held in Orlando, Sept. 13-15, 2024. The annual event serves as an important gathering for researchers developing next-generation delivery vehicles — targeted, responsive, biodegradable nanomaterials to make diagnostics more sensitive and drugs more effective. Established in 2003 by Drs. Alexander Kabanov and Kazunori Kataoka, the symposium has attracted more than 3,000 participants from 30 different countries over the years and has become one of the most authoritative forums in its field.

Abstract Information

Abstracts Abstract submissions were accepted until July 1, and have now closed. Please note the presenting author must register for the annual meeting before the deadline. If the presenting author is not registered, the abstract will be withdrawn from the program.
