Advanced Drug Delivery is part of the PhD Programme in Pharmacy, trains students in the development of advanced medicinal products, covering crucial aspects that determine the fate of drugs in the human or animal body, from their fundamentals to the advanced strategies to overcome the physiological barriers, including innovative technological and therapeutic applications. It is aimed at PhD students, but welcomes the participation of external academic and scientific community members. Modulation of transport across biological barriers, including the intracellular ones, is one of the major challenges in drug delivery. Frequently therapeutic molecules, irrespective of molecular weight or origin, do not possess the required physicochemical properties to reach the target site or enter diseased cells, needing delivery and targeting systems that aim to overcome these limitations, reducing toxicity and improving drug performance. Students will be educated in comprehensive concepts needed to approach advanced drug delivery at cellular and molecular biology levels. They will have contact with relevant matters such as the physicochemical and biological determinants of passively and actively targeted drug delivery, including the nanotechnological approaches to nanomedicine.
