Successful delivery of biopharmaceuticals is a major challenge because their molecular properties lead to poor physical and chemical stability in the body and limited membrane permeability. Delivery Technologies for Biopharmaceuticals is the first single-volume reference to describe the strategies to overcome the main barriers for successful delivery of all major classes of biopharmaceuticals--peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and vaccines. With extensive case studies showing how the science has been put into practice, this essential introduction will be of value to researchers and students working in drug delivery, formulation, biopharmaceuticals, medicinal chemistry, and new materials development.
