María José Alonso, elected Secretary of the Controlled Release Society

The Controlled Release Society doubly awarded the prestigious ‘Distinguished Service Award’ and the ‘Women in Science Award’ to María José Alonso

These are new recognitions of the outstanding career of Professor Alonso by international scientific institutions, after her election to the US National Academy of Medicine, to the prestigious College of Fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering’s (AIMBE) and to the CRS College of Fellows.

Our latest paper, published in Drug Delivery and Translational Research: “Technological challenges in the preclinical development of an HIV nanovaccine candidate”

In the obstacle race to the market nanomedicines face multiple challenges. If you want to know how to address them, check our recent paper about “Technological challenges in the preclinical development of an HIV nanovaccine candidate”, which has been just published in the DDTR journal.

The 25th Anniversary of the Spanish-Portuguese Local Chapter of the Controlled Release Society is just there!

It will be held in Santiago de Compostela, January 22-24, 2020. We count with the participation of two past presidents of the CRS, Sandy Florence and María J. Alonso (founder of the SPLC-CRS), two CRS Board members, Steve Little and Mark Prausnitz, and representatives from all CRS European Local Chapters. An industry panel will also discuss the industry perspective on Nanomedicine. It is an amazing program with 20 invited speakers that so far has attracted the attention of 200 participants.

Targeting neurodegenerative diseases with RNA interference through the nose?

We describe how the physicochemical properties of polymeric nanocapsules have a tremendous impact in their capacity to disseminate and accumulate in the different subpopulations of immune cells in the lymph nodes.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Looking forward even greater advancements in sciences for a good health

Merry Christmas to everyone! We wish you a fabulous and full of science 2020!

Our latest work published in “Journal of Controlled Release”

The harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract along with the complex structure of macromolecules restrains the administration of biological drugs to the parenteral route. Hence, drug delivery technologies play a crucial role to enable their oral administration. In this paper, we review the current scenario and identify key strategies for the future advancement in the field.

The Scientific Society chaired by Professor María José Alonso brings together more than 1,200 experts in the development of technologies for the controlled release of drugs

Professionals from all over the world from different sectors present in Valencia the scientific and technological advances in controlled drug release, diagnostic strategies, as well as the latest more accurate and safer treatments for patients.
