New Drug Delivery System Uses Magnetism to Release Medication

This article in Cnet highlights an effective new approach to delivering intermittent doses of medication that can not be taken orally. Research led by Daniel Kohane at Children's Hospital Boston has uncovered a tiny implantable device that releases the medication through a membrane by switching on an off a magnetic field.

This is a novel approach to delivering drugs and hopefully we should see this come to hospitals soon. What are some other examples of innovative drug delivery systems that are being researched?

Self-administration drug delivery evolving the industry

According to zikkir, the future of drug delivery is increasingly turning towards self-administration. With medical advances, patients are increasingly able to give themselves their prescriptions. Because these devices that are already pre-filled and easier to use, they're leading to more patient compliance. Read more about the increase in self-administration drug delivery devices here.

What do you think? With the growing number of patient-administered drug delivery devices, do you think this will contribute to a patient's compliance to continually and regularly take their medication?

The state of the art targeted delivery options for your macromolecule

Targeted macromolecular drugs have been touted as the treatment of the future for cancer and cardiovascular disease. To achieve this promise, safe and efficient drug delivery strategies must be realized. While formulation strategies have progressed significantly over the past several years, the industry still faces challenges in advancing delivery of biologics.

Join us in Boston this September 23-25 at the Biologics Drug Delivery & Beyond event, where you will uncover the latest technologies for effectively delivering your macromolecule, including a featured session entitled “The Magic Bullets of the Shots Heard Round the World: Targeted Macromolecule Delivery”, which provides insight on how to:

* Deliver biologics to target
* Use advanced drug delivery formulation for targeting
* Enable macromolecules targeting to treat

In addition, participants hear from David Cipolla of Aradigm on local and systemic lung delivery of peptides, oligos and proteins using solution inhalers. No other event brings the scientific leaders at the forefront of biologic drug delivery under one roof.

Visit our website for complete agenda details, as well as access to presentations from the 2009 Drug Delivery Partnerships event.
