1st Advances in Polymeric Micelles for therapeutic applications
24 January 2022
Dear Colleagues,
The first “Advances in Polymeric Micelles for therapeutic applications” will focus on the latest advances and current challenges in the application of therapeutic polymeric micelles. The chosen topics will be presented by renowned experts in the field, and a special opportunity will be given to young scientists to present their work.
The meeting is organized by the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra, and will be held online on 24 January 2022. Registration is free of charge but is mandatory for participation, and the deadline for registration is 22 January 2022 at https://forms.gle/WZsdZx4r1sY21u669.
A booklet of abstracts will be disclosed for registered people with the ISBN: 978-989-95050-6-3.
A Special Issue was created in Pharmaceutics (Impact Factor - 6.321, Q1 – Pharmacology & Pharmacy): https://www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceutics/special_issues/micelle_therap.
We are pleased to announce that the abstract deadline will be extended until 17th of January (https://forms.gle/WZsdZx4r1sY21u669). Please feel free and motivated to share your work in all fields of Nanotechnology with national and international renewed Researchers. It will be an amazing opportunity for networking.
