Erkki Ruoslahti, Ph.D.
Vascular zip codes in drug and nanodevice targeting
Dr. Ruoslahti will discuss how our understanding of the unique characteristics of blood vessels in different tissues can assist us in designing smart nanodevice delivery systems for tumors. Since every normal tissue and diseased tissues, too, puts a specific signature on its endothelium, these signatures can serve as zip codes for the delivery of diagnostic probes and therapeutic agents to disease sites.
