Project Overview

The project on "Development of Novel Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Cancer Therapy" focuses on addressing the challenges associated with traditional cancer treatments by developing innovative drug delivery systems. Cancer therapy is often limited by systemic toxicity, poor drug solubility, and lack of specificity towards cancer cells, leading to adverse effects and suboptimal treatment outcomes. In response to these limitations, the research aims to design and optimize novel drug delivery systems that can enhance the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments. The project will involve the exploration of various drug delivery strategies, including nanoparticle-based delivery systems, liposomes, micelles, and targeted drug conjugates. These systems offer the potential to improve drug stability, increase drug accumulation at the tumor site, and minimize off-target effects. By encapsulating anticancer drugs within these delivery systems, it is possible to achieve controlled release kinetics and enhance drug uptake by cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. Furthermore, the research will focus on incorporating targeting ligands onto the surface of drug delivery systems to achieve specific recognition and binding to cancer cells. This targeted approach can improve drug selectivity and enhance therapeutic outcomes by delivering higher drug concentrations to cancer cells while reducing exposure to normal tissues. The project will involve a comprehensive investigation into the physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, pharmacokinetics, and in vitro/in vivo efficacy of the developed drug delivery systems. Through a combination of experimental studies and computational modeling, the research aims to optimize the design parameters of the drug delivery systems to achieve the desired therapeutic outcomes. Overall, the project on "Development of Novel Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Cancer Therapy" seeks to contribute to the advancement of cancer treatment by overcoming the limitations of conventional therapies. By harnessing the potential of innovative drug delivery systems, this research aims to improve the effectiveness, safety, and patient outcomes in the field of cancer therapy.
