About the Summit:
Advances in molecular biology and biotechnology have allowed for the large-scale production of effective and potent biotherapeutic drugs. Major research issues in protein/peptide delivery include the stabilization of proteins in delivery devices and the design of appropriate target-specific carriers. The summit, to take place on May 5-7, 2014 in Boston, MA, will provide a forum for focused discussions on current challenges and opportunities in delivery of biotherapeutics. This two-part summit will discuss various formulation and device-based approaches for designing physiologically relevant, patient friendly, targeted biologics products.

Part 1: Formulation Strategies for Improved Delivery of Biologics (May 5-6)
Part 2: New Technologies for Biologics Delivery and Targeting (May 6-7)
