In January 2003 Dr. Alexander Kabanov and Dr. Kazunori Kataoka have organized the first nanomedicine meeting in the United States – “The Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium (nanoDDS)”. Since then nanoDDS has been held annually in different locations across North America. Over years it has attracted over 2000 participants from 30 different countries and became one of the most authoritative forums in its field. Each year the meeting comes to a different University campus, thereby promoting knowledge and becoming a major world-class scientific event for its students and scholars. The objectives of nanoDDS are to 1) discuss groundbreaking discoveries and developments in nanomedicine and drug delivery; 2) highlight clinical developments and opportunities for advancing nanomedicine technology to the marketplace; and 3) engage and educate students, postdoctoral trainees and scientists from the local University and all over the world.
