The problem is to get new RNAi and other therapeutic molecules to target cells in the body.

FSTG Conference, 2007

The challenge of the formulator has always been to deliver formulated materials effectively to the site of action. Never has this been more challenging than today where developments in chemistry, biology and biochemistry have identified new more potent and targeted molecules designed to interact with ever more specific sites. Delivering these, usually, expensive materials effectively requires all of the skills of the formulation scientist utilising a vast palette of tried and tested delivery vehicles and where appropriate developing new and more complex solutions.

In conjunction with the Sheffield University Polymer Centre the Formulation Science and Technology group of the Royal Society of Chemistry is proud to present a one day symposium on exciting new delivery vehicles and tools to add to the formulators arsenal. Whether you are interested in the delivery of new medicinal active ingredients, sensory materials such as flavours or fragrances, cosmetic ingredients, pesticides or other complex molecules, then this event should be of interest to you. Some of these topics will be highlighted by our internationally recognised speakers drawn from both academia and industry. This is a unique chance to view a range of technologies pulled together in one location allowing for a cross fertilisation of ideas and opportunities for knowledge transfer.

In addition to the oral session there will also be a poster session and equipment suppliers exhibition area.


If you would like to exhibit posters, products or equipment please Email David Higgins at david.higgins@onyxnet.co.uk.
