Goals & Objectives
Goals and Objectives
Nanotechnology along with biotechnology and bioinformatics constitute the basis of 21st Century therapeutics with joint ventures and collaborations between academia, government and industry. In reference to drug development, improving the development potential of new molecules and the efficacy and delivery of existing drugs is the key to a successful future. In this course, key highlights of nanotechnology with focus on nanoparticles as applied to drug delivery and formulation, will be featured along with an overview of nanoscience and nanotechnology programs. Product development and regulatory perspectives will be discussed next and subsequent sessions will focus on nanoparticles with presentations on the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of dendrimers, drug nanocrystals, polymeric and lipidic nanoparticles and their impact on drug formulation and delivery. Case studies will be presented throughout the course that are targeted towards specific drug molecules and/or disease indications where these systems have been successfully used with marketed drug products and developmental formulations.
Upon completion of the course, the learner should be able to:
- discuss with leading academic, government and pharmaceutical industry experts the state-of-art in the applications of nanoparticles in drug formulation and delivery;
- describe initiatives at the NIH and the FDA that relate to nanoscience and nanotechnology;
- address and distinguish the differences between traditional colloidal delivery systems and more sophisticated nanosystems based on advanced biomaterials and devices;
- list recent advances in the chemistry and drug delivery applications of dendrimers;
- state the potential benefits of drug formulation using drug nanoparticles polymer-and/or lipid-based nanocarriers and their integration into intellectual property and product portfolios;
- better predict the development potential of new chemical entities and anticipate commercialization challenges and opportunities; and
- apply rational, timely and target-driven designs of enhanced dosage forms and drug delivery systems.
Short Course Program General Information
Purpose
The primary objective in all short courses is to upgrade the knowledge of pharmaceutical personnel, who can then be of greater value to their respective firms. Students will work closely with one or more faculty members to allow for optimum dialogue and discussion. We also have modified some of the courses based on evaluations and suggestions from previous participants. As with all our programs, these are designed to be practical and applicable to participants' work environments. To allow for maximum faculty-student interaction, the enrollment will be limited and available to learners on a first-come basis.
Last year, over 90% agreed or strongly agreed that the program was a valuable learning experience and over 88% indicated that they would recommend the course to a colleague.
Location
Courses are presented on the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus. Springtime in Madison and the beauty of the on-campus location provide a relaxing atmosphere for learning. Evenings can be used to explore the University and the city named by Money magazine as the "best place to live in America" in 1996. For more information about Madison, WI visit www.visitmadison.com
Accommodations
Housing information will be sent to individuals when they receive their registration confirmation. Several hotels are within a short walking distance from the conference facility. The approximate cost per night is $100.
Ending/Starting Times
Classes begin at 8:30am each morning and end approximately 4:30. Unless otherwise indicated in the course description, programs traditionally end at approximately 11:00 to 11:30 AM on the last day of the class. This allows participants to make reservations for return flights the same day.
Enrollment & Fees
Unless otherwise indicated, enrollment will be limited to 30 individuals per short course. The registration fee of $1095.00 includes instructional costs, course materials, and coffee breaks, and lunches. Cancellations after April 25 are non-refundable. Cancellations prior to April 25 are subject to a $75 administration fee. In the event that an accepted applicant cannot attend, a substitute may be sent by the same company. Early bird discounts ($895) are offered to individuals registering prior to April 25, 2008. In 2007, seven of the nine short courses filled before the early registration deadline. You are encouraged to register early to avoid not being able to be included in the program.
