Course description
Ocular drug delivery is an evolving field featuring cutting-edge advances in devices, formulations, and paradigms for design and characterization. This course will draw upon experts in the various disciplines of the field in order to instruct attendees on how to apply key concepts in drug delivery to improve upon the translational value of their research endeavors. Key topics will include fundamentals and pharmacokinetics of drug delivery to the anterior and posterior segment, anatomical and tissue barriers for ocular drug biodistribution, models for evaluating drug delivery systems, as well as advances in device, formulation, polymer, and lipid technologies, as well as regulatory and clinical considerations for incorporation of drug delivery technologies in the clinic.

Description
After attending this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify significant ocular tissue barriers for drug delivery and clearance in the eye
- Develop competency in comparing ocular drug delivery systems and formulations to propose optimal strategies for delivery of small molecules and macromolecules including oligonucleotides, gene therapies, and protein drugs
- Describe the regulatory process for approval of drug delivery devices and formulations
- Identify and apply state-of-the-art platform technologies for ocular drug delivery in anterior and posterior segment diseases, including those based on polymer, lipid, implant, and nano particulate technologies
