Objectives
This module will explore the innovation of delivery systems and strategies that scientists are investigating to enhance the delivery of therapeutic agents. Students will be dissecting the current research to evaluate the effectiveness and viability of these delivery systems, scrutinizing design, physicochemical factors, targeting mechanisms, and biological fate among other criteria, and how they all play a role in improving or inhibiting the therapeutic outcome. Students will apply their critical skills in the form of journal clubs, reports and posters, in team and individual efforts.
