The GRC conference on “Drug Carriers in Medicine and Biology” will take place in the beautiful, mountain setting of the Big Sky Resort during August 24-29th 2008. For three decades this biennial meeting has brought prominent senior and younger scientists in all aspects of biology, medicine, physico-chemical and pharmaceutical fields to meet the common interests and goals of better drug therapy using novel strategies of drug delivery and drug carriers. The 2008 meeting will focus on several areas of drug delivery including protein and oligonucleotide/gene delivery, polymers and lipid particles, nano-materials, antibody drug-conjugates and cellular carriers, directed to various targets at multiple levels, as well as multimodal molecular imaging applied to monitoring delivery and therapeutic efficacy. This meeting will also include the approaches of chemical biology and nanotechnology to target and achieve enhanced delivery and therapeutic outcomes. Young investigators are particularly encouraged to attend and join in open discussions on these important, exciting areas and other subjects. Additionally the organizers encourage poster presentations of emerging work, with one evening reserved for short presentations from the selected posters followed by open lively discussions. Prof. David Scheinberg (Sloan-Kettering Inst.) and Prof. Kyung-Dall Lee (Univ. of Michigan) invite researchers and students from academia, pharma and biotech to attend this unique meeting on drug delivery of wide scope at Big Sky Montana in 2008. This GRC site offers the additional attraction of the outdoor activities promoting interactions at various levels and the close proximity of the Yellowstone National Park.
