Description
The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for the critical analysis of advanced drug and gene delivery systems
and their applications in human and veterinary medicine. The Journal has a broad scope, covering the key issues for effective drug and
gene delivery, from administration to site-specific delivery.
In general, the Journal publishes review articles in a Theme Issue format.
Each Theme Issue provides a comprehensive and critical examination of current and emerging research on the design and development of
advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their application to experimental and clinical therapeutics. The goal is to illustrate the
pivotal role of a multidisciplinary approach to modern drug delivery, encompassing the application of sound biological and physicochemical
principles to the engineering of drug delivery systems to meet the therapeutic need at hand.
Articles review the current status
of a specific topic, giving equal emphasis to the identification of major conceptual and technological challenges to successful drug
and gene delivery, to an evaluation of triumphs as well as shortcomings in current conceptual and technical approaches, and to a discussion
of their possible solution.
Theme issues are commissioned by one of the Executive Editors or the Editor-in-Chief. The Journal does
not publish stand alone manuscripts. If you wish to submit a theme issue topic for consideration, please contact one of the editors.
