The reader will be introduced to various aspects of the fundamentals of nanotechnology based drug delivery systems and the application of these systems forthe delivery of small molecules, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and genes. How these systems overcome challenges offered by biological barriers to drug absorption and drug targeting will also be described. Designed as a reference text on the application of nanotechnology in the development of drug delivery systems.
