<br>課一、課程說明 (Course Desc<x>ription) 
<br>
<br>This course is to provide the students an introduction to the fundamental 
<br>concepts of controlled drug delivery systems, types of drug carriers that have 
<br>been and/or are being developed and, particularly, detail desc<x>riptions in both the 
<br>preparation approaches and mechanisms of their actions to achieve drug controlled 
<br>delivery. For comprehensively understanding the rationales of drug delivery design 
<br>with desired biodistribution profiles, pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics are 
<br>partially introduced in this course.
