Nemucore Medical Innovations Presents at 4th Annual CCNE National Cancer Institute Site Visit

BOSTON - March 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Nemucore Medical Innovations, Inc. (NMI) is a privately-held biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of targeted nanomedicines for the treatment of patients afflicted with multidrug resistant cancers. NMI announced its participation in its fourth annual National Cancer Institute (NCI) Centers of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNEs) site visit held Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at Northeastern University’s 140 The Fenway building. Attending on behalf of the NCI were Dr. Piotr Grodzinski, Director of the NCI Office of Cancer Nanotechnology Research (OCNR), and Dr. Anil K. Patri, Deputy Director of the Nanotechnology Characterization Lab.

CCNEs are multi-institutional hubs run by the OCNR, whose focus is on using nanotechnology for advances in cancer research.  In 2010 NMI was awarded five years of funding as the translational core of the CCNE’s Center for Translational Cancer Nanomedicine (Center). Dr. Timothy Coleman, CEO & President of NMI, presented on NMI’s translational efforts of scaling up the manufacturing processes of nanomedicines. The presentation included a demonstration of NMI’s Pharma-Designs software package, which aims to eliminate a major communication bottleneck slowing the translation of cancer nanomedicines to the clinic.

Other Center presenters included principal investigators Dr. Vladimir Torchilin, Dr. Mansoor Amiji, Dr. Craig Ferris, Dr. Sri Sridhar, and Dr. Nahum Goldberg.
