Pioneering Novel Drug Delivery Systems: The Dr. Paul Janssen Award Symposium
Since 2004, the Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research has honored scientists who have made a transformational contribution toward the improvement of human health. This prestigious award honors the legacy of Dr. Paul Janssen, an exceptionally gifted and passionate scientist who revolutionized modern medicine and inspired a new generation of researchers.
This half-day virtual symposium will celebrate the 2023 Honoree, Dr. Robert Langer, and his pioneering work.
Dr. Robert Langer is honored with the 2023 Dr. Paul Janssen Award for his groundbreaking work in designing novel drug delivery systems that can deliver medications continuously, precisely, and at controlled rates over extended periods. His pioneering research into biomedical compounds for drug delivery and tissue engineering has impacts on a wide range of medical technologies, including anticancer therapy, vaccine development (including the COVID-19 vaccine), gene therapy, and more.
