HISTORY

A world-class scientific event

Since its founding in 2003, nanoDDS has welcomed over 3,000 attendees from more than 30 different countries, establishing itself as a leading forum in nanomedicine.

Two Decades of Discovery

Dr. Alexander Kabanov and Dr. Kazunori Katoaka organized the first major nanomedicine meeting in the United States in January 2003. Since then, the Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium has been held annually at universities and medical centers across North America, becoming a major conference that connects leading researchers, clinicians, and innovators from around the globe.
