Abstract

Nanotechnologies provide a wide range of new opportunities for developments in pharmacology: targeted drug delivery, applications of nano-containers in drug delivery, targeted influence on the immunity and new vaccine types, new hybrid nano-compounds for cancer treatment, selective adsorbents, etc. The design of functional nano-objects having pronounced biological activity is practically impossible without detailed modeling of structure and functional activity of various bio and nanostructures (proteins, peptides, biomembranes, nanotubes, fullerenes, etc.) The panel session will cover a rather wide and special range of questions, concerning the application of nanostructures in pharmacology and application of molecular simulations to the problems of nanopharmacology.

Examples of Questions or Issues that will be addressed by the Panel

New trends at the boundaries of physical chemistry, life sciences and medicine:
