Lipids Liposomes and Biomembranes New Technologies



May 16, 2005 -- This conference is being organized by some of the most exciting leaders in the field: Pieter Cullis (Vancouver), Ben de Kruijff (Utrecht), Terry Allen (Edmonton), Hagan Bayley (Oxford) and Frank Szoka (San Francisco) with partial support by the International Liposome Society and a number of industry sponsors. The event promises to be an exciting conference at the leading edge of liposome and biomembrane research.

Discover more about the outstanding program and faculty at the conference website: www.liposomesandmembranes.com.

Topics to be covered include:
- Physical properties and functional roles of lipids in membranes
- Liposomes for cancer chemotherapy
- Lipid and lipid-protein domains
- Liposomes for gene therapy
- Membrane channels
- Targeted liposomes

The use of liposomes as therapeutics evolved began over 20 years ago, utilizing liposomes that were developed as models of biological membranes. Since then the liposome and the biomembrane research communities have diverged. However, the basic principles underlying the design of liposomes for drug delivery have deep roots in an understanding of the properties of biomembranes. This conference is aimed at bringing the liposome and biomembrane groups back together with the objective of stimulating cross-disciplinary interactions and new research directions in both fields. Particular emphasis will be given to the design of increasingly sophisticated liposomal systems for therapeutic applications as well as the new technologies that are being developed to study membrane components and processes.
