Advances in Drug Delivery: Prospects for Vaccination
DRUG DELIVERY:
• Approaches, formulations, technologies and systems for transporting a
pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its
desired therapeutic effect
• Approaches: a variety of delivery routes: p.o. (by mouth), i.v. (intravenous),
i.m. (intramuscular), dermal, nasal, ocular, rectal…
• Formulations: tablet, capsule, injection, nasal spray, patch…

Advances in Drug Delivery: Prospects for Vaccination
Vaccination is currently one of the HOT TOPICS in drug delivery research!
 Needle free vaccination (nasal, oral, transdermal)
 Novel adjuvants
 Vaccines against malaria, HIV, hepatitis, cancer…
In the course:
• basic concepts of immunology will be introduced in order to understand
vaccination concepts and special problems
• methods in biochemistry will be introduced in order to understand study
designs
• common drug delivery problems will be illustrated using the example of
vaccination
• in assignments and group work an example vaccine formulation will be
developed by the students
