3. Bioactive Devices: Uniting Form with Function

   CEP Magazine article, March 2013

   Bioactive implants that combine a medical device with one or more biologic therapeutic agents show promise for the targeted treatment of complex medical conditions. Implantable medical devices, such as stents, grafts, and joint replacements, are crucial in the treatment of many chronic diseases,...

4. The Blood-Brain Barrier and Drug Delivery

   CEP Magazine article, March 2013

   To maintain favorable conditions in the brain, the blood-brain barrier limits mass transfer across brain tissue. However, it also restricts the systemic delivery of compounds to treat neurological disorders. Several treatment alternatives to bypass the BBB and infuse pharmaceuticals at high...

5. Engineering Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Drug and Gene Delivery

   CEP Magazine article, March 2013

   Engineered nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic agents to specifically targeted cells and then release those agents in a precisely controlled manner. Improved pharmacokinetic properties, reduced toxicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers are some of the key benefits of this approach.

6. Introduction to Drug Delivery Technology

   CEP Magazine article, March 2013

   Drugs can be administered by many routes, yet all emerging drug delivery technologies aim to improve drug efficacy, minimize side effects, and reduce the burden of care for patients and physicians.

7. SBE Update: Drug Delivery and Chemical/Biological Engineering

   CEP Magazine article, March 2013

   Although you might not associate drug delivery with chemical engineering, the principles of chemical engineering — such as mass and energy balances, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and particle technology — are intimately involved in drug delivery. Biological engineers are developing new...
