This symposium provided a setting in which scientists could gather to discuss recent advances and state-of-the-art technology in drug delivery. Speakers included pharmaceutical scientists, polymer chemists, bioengineers, pharmacologists and physicians who were considered to be leaders in the field of research and development of drug delivery systems. Perspectives on drug delivery systems and development have changed markedly since the first symposium on this subject was held. Focus on biological mechanisms and interactions important to drug delivery systems has increased. This changing emphasis is reflected in the five major topics discussed: transport mechanisms across membranes, proteins and macromolecular drug delivery, new developments in drug delivery, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in controlled drug delivery, and targeting and site-specific delivery. The breadth of topics covered illustrates the interdisciplinary and multifaceted nature of drug delivery systems.

Polymeric materials are now playing an increasingly important role in pharmaceuticals, as well as in sensing devices, in situ prostheses and probes, and microparticle diagnostic agents. This new volume consists of twenty-two recent research-based reports on the developments in these areas of pharmaceutical and biomaterials technology. The reports w
