�Biomaterials and biotechnology: From the discovery of angiogenesis inhibitors to the development of controlled drug delivery systems and the foundation of tissue engineering�

Robert S. Langer, Sc.D.
David H. Koch Institute Professor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Chemical Engineering Department
Cambridge, MA

Abstract
Research starting with the development of novel delivery systems for macromolecules is discussed. For example, new drug delivery technologies including nanoparticles and nanotechnology promise to create new treatments for cancer and other illnesses. They have also been used as essential parts of the assays used to isolate angiogenesis inhibitors. The creation of new biomaterials is also discussed. Furthermore, by combining mammalian cells, including stem cells, with synthetic polymers, new approaches for engineering tissues are being developed that may someday help repair various tissues.
