Particles 2010 is an international conference examining the science, technology, and business aspects of medical/biochemical diagnostic, pharmaceutical, and drug delivery applications of particle technology. Symposia will address diverse topics including nanoparticles, hydrogels, chemical and drug delivery, controlled release, suspensions, inhalation, liposomes, micelles & microemulsions, characterization, gene delivery, siRNA delivery, chemical and biochemical diagnostics, separations, surface modification, critical and supercritical fluid applications, spray drying, emulsions, and multiple emulsions. The conference targets practicing scientists, clinical research physicians, engineers, managers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, and embraces the theme "particles for detection and treatment."

The conference format comprises 5 parallel tracks of approximately 250 invited and contributed oral papers. Approximately 100 contributed posters will be presented in the two poster sessions.
