SUMMARY:Nanoparticle drug delivery - Hongyu Zhang\, PhD Student\, Departme

DESCRIPTION:Nanotechnology could be strategically implemented in new devel
 oping drug delivery systems that can expand drug markets. Such a plan woul
 d be applied to drugs selected for full-scale development based on their s
 afety and efficacy data\, but which fail to reach clinical development bec
 ause of poor biopharmacological properties\, for example\, poor solubility
  or poor permeability across the intestinal epithelium\, situations that t
 ranslate into poor bioavailability and undesirable pharmacokinetic propert
 ies. The new drug delivery methods are expected to enable pharmaceutical c
 ompanies to reformulate existing drugs on the market\, thereby extending t
 he lifetime of products and enhancing the performance of drugs by increasi
 ng effectiveness\, safety and patient adherence\, and ultimately reducing 
 healthcare costs.
