Follow on Google News | Nemucore Key Partner in NCI award to Northeastern U. Center of Cancer Nanotechnology ExcellenceNemucore Medical Innovations, as part of Northeastern University’s Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE) consortium, will develop nanomedicine manufacturing processes under recent $13.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute
By: Nemucore Medical Innovations Northeastern is establishing the Center for Translational Cancer Nanomedicine where a multidisciplinary team of scientists, industry and government partners will develop cancer treatments from discovery to delivery. NMI will share in the 5-year, $13.5 million grant that the National Cancer Institute awarded to Northeastern. NMI will conduct scale-up and industrial level production of the test batches of the most promising nanopharmaceuticals developed by individual research teams within the CCNE. NMI President and CEO Dr. Tim Coleman states that the CCNE partnership will make an impact on patient care, "Nanomedicine manufacturing is at its nascent stage, and the focus of NMI’s work on developing the quality systems to manufacture these products in compliance with FDA guidelines is extremely important to translate the technology from the laboratory to clinical investigation.” Vladimir Torchilin, PhD, distinguished professor and director of the Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Nanomedicine at Northeastern’ NMI will address a key aspect of this question by providing the FDA compliant quality system to manufacture nanomedicines developed within the Northeastern CCNE partnership. The CCNE consortium will focus on targeted drug nanocarriers to deliver therapeutic agents and modulators of drug resistance directly to tumors. Patients with multi drug resistant (MDR) cancer quickly exhaust therapeutic options and care goals change from treatment to palliation; drug nanocarriers hold the promise for changing this paradigm. # # # About Nemucore Medical Innovations Nemucore Medical Innovations, Inc. is dedicated to the development and commercialization of life-saving nanomedicines for the treatment of MDR cancers. We accomplish this objective by conceiving, testing and manufacturing nanomedicines, applying our proprietary nanoformulation technologies to drugs that need improved delivery solutions. NMI was founded in 2008 and is based in Worcester and Wellesley. End
