“A journey of a thousand miles must
begin with a single step." Express Pharma would like
to be that ‘first step’ for the thousands of life
science research students who nurse a dream to discover new
pathways and molecules, to better existing processes and to
add to the understanding of this fascinating science. In our
first ‘Research Review’ section, devoted to research
review papers from such students, we feature Carbon nanotubes—A
novel drug delivery system by Shyam M Garg, Vishal A Deshmukh;
Bioanalytical method development and validation by U K Singh,
S Pandey, P Pandey, P K Keshri, P Wal; and Integrated gene
delivery vectors by Aditya Pattani, Manan Desai and Deepti
Panicker
Carbon
nanotubes—A novel drug delivery system
Nanotechnology involves research and technology development
at scales ranging from individual atoms or molecules to submicron
dimensions, ie in the range of 1-100 nanometers
Bioanalytical
method development and validation
The development of sound bioanalytical method(s) is of paramount
importance during the process of drug discovery and development
culminating in a marketing approval
Integrated
gene delivery vectors
Treating human genetic diseases poses new challenges for modern
medicine. Genetic diseases are mainly caused by mutation or
deletion of genes, being inherited or transferred from the
parent, usually leading to the impairment of the otherwise
normal metabolic pathway
