Newswise — DENVER (November 13, 2016) – The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) has selected the award winning manuscripts from three research journals: The AAPS Journal, AAPS PharmSciTech., and Pharmaceutical Research. Each of these manuscript awards aim to recognize contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences as demonstrated by the respective authors.
Polymeric Micelles for Multi-Drug Delivery in Cancer, the wining paper of the Outstanding Manuscript Award in AAPS PharmSciTech, focuses on development of advanced drug delivery systems for multi-drug delivery, gaining insight into theranostic strategy of treating advanced ovarian cancer, and emphasizing clinical benefits of the advanced drug delivery systems in surgical gynecology. Ovarian cancer accounts for 5% of cancer deaths, causing more death than any other gynecological cancers. Among women diagnosed with ovarian cancer, more than 60% of them are at an advanced stage with 27% of the 5-year survival rate.
Hyunah Cho, Ph.D., one of the Outstanding Manuscript Award recipients says, “My mission in research is to contribute to the pursuit of knowledge in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, and to apply knowledge to developing safe and effective drug delivery systems for treating ovarian cancer. To ultimately help prolong longevity of ovarian cancer patients at an advanced stage, we have been dedicated to develop polymeric micelles and hydrogel systems which can be seamlessly integrated into surgical gynecology by providing excellent therapeutic effects intraoperative optical image-guidance.” Outstanding Manuscript Award in AAPS PharmSciTechThe AAPS Outstanding Manuscript Award in AAPS PharmSciTech is intended to recognize outstanding achievement in pharmaceutical technologies as demonstrated by authorship of a manuscript published in the journal, AAPS PharmSciTech.o Hyunah Cho, Ph.D.o Tsz Chung Lai, B.S., Ph.D.o Keishiro Tomoda, Ph.D.o Glen S.
