DESCRIPTION:Titre : Biodegradable Polymers and Their Assembly into Function
 al and Stimuli-Responsive Materials.Endroit : Pavillon Roger-Gaudry\, sall
 e G-815 à 11 hHôte : Professeure Andreea Schmitzer
\nLa conférence sera
  prononcée (en anglais) par la professeure Elizabeth Gillies\, du Départ
 ement de chimie de l'University of Western Ontario.
\nRésumé : Biomateri
 als are increasingly important in the development of new strategies for th
 e diagnosis and treatment of disease. In particular\, many drugs and drug 
 candidates exhibit undesirable properties such as low solubility\, rapid e
 xcretion\, or an inability to cross cell membranes. Their incorporation in
 to nanosized biomaterials such as micelles\, nanoparticles or vesicles can
  address these issues. With the goal of obtaining optimal performance\, in
 creasing demands are placed on the materials to perform multiple functions
  such as tissue targeting and “smart” release\, while at the same time
  maintaining biocompatibility and degradability. This talk will describe t
 he Gillies group’s research on the development of surface functionalizat
 ion approaches for polymer vesicles\, aimed at modulating their biological
  properties and functions including cell uptake and lectin binding. It wil
 l also describe our development of class of polymers that depolymerize end
 -to-end upon the cleavage of a stimuli-responsive end-cap for the polymer 
 terminus. Our progress in tuning the depolymerization rate and developing 
 new polymer backbones will be summarized.
