Due to COVID-19, we anticipate to reschedule the upcoming 2nd Drug Delivery Conference. Once we have further information, this will be updated and displayed on our website.
This conference focuses on the design parameters, synthesis and clinical validation of new drug delivery vehicles, and is designed to bridge the gap between basic science and unmet clinical needs with a particular focus on gene editing therapeutics, RNA therapeutics, sustained release technologies and immuno-engineering. Several new polymers, linkers, proteins, and nanoparticles for drug delivery will be presented, as well as recent clinical trial data generated from drug delivery companies that are pioneering the development of new experimental therapeutics. The field is rapidly evolving and it is having a significant clinical impact but there are still a number of challenges associated with accelerating the pace in transitioning into the clinic. Recent advances in chemistry, genetics and biochemistry have majorly impacted drug delivery based therapeutics and this conference aims to make these new developments accessible to a broad audience.
• Therapeutic gene editing
- Fundamentals of gene editing and overview of gene editing modalities (protein, gene, mRNA, viral, etc.)
- New gene editing modalities
- Approaches to delivery of therapeutic gene editing modalities – in vivo, ex vivo
• Extrahepatic delivery of nucleic acids
• Characterization of therapeutic nanoparticles and control strategies for manufacturing
- Molecular characterization
- Physchem characterization
- Toxicological characterization
- New methods
- Case studies from industry
• New linkers for triggered or controlled release
• New long acting technologies

Dolce CampoReal Lisboa, Torres Vedras is approximately a 30-minute journey from Lisbon Portela Airport.
Taxis are available outside the airport, but we would strongly recommend you pre-book your airport transfer with one of the many private transfer companies that are available. The Dolce CampoReal Lisboa is located outside of the city zone and a pre-booked transfer will be a cheaper option than a taxi taken from the airport taxi rank.
Uber also operate in and around Lisbon and there are other Portuguese taxi-hailing apps such as MyTaxi, TaxisLisboa and Coop Taxis, all offering reasonable rates.
