Association of Pharmaceutical Teachers of India (APTI) is organising a one day national seminar on on 'New-fangled nano drug delivery: Future fueling for pharmacy to treat/fight disease,' on April 12, 2014, in Aurangabad, under the banner of APTI. The event is being organised in P D M College of Pharmacy, with an aim to develop awareness about nano-scale research commercialisation process and its benefits.

It will also focus on basic and advanced methodologies of nano-scale research and motivate the academicians for new fangled nano research that can be commercialised. It is understood that the drug delivery using nano-scale molecular assemblies has the potential for controlling the temporal and spatial distribution of various drugs in disease sites, such as tumours, thus providing a safer and more therapeutic option for human diseases.

Interestingly, these nano assemblies are expected to provide useful pharmaceutical tools that allow understanding, prevention, detection and elimination of various human diseases. The organisers believe that the findings presented at the meeting may assist in the design of nano-scale delivery and therapeutic systems so as provide valuable insights into nano-toxicity. This meeting can be very useful for Pharm D, PhD students, pharmacy professionals and industry members.

Established in 1966, APTI works to ensure that all the teacher's contribution could be utilised both at micro levels with multi dimensional professionalism. They aim to make sure that the teachers now not only give class room instructions but also become educators in the true sense by being counselors, motivators, guides, researchers, advisors, consultants to pharma companies, etc, so as to create quality pharmacists of technological era.
