Drug Delivery and Hydrotropism

Biotechnology is one of the important domains in chemical engineering. As they say, the best processing plant possible is our body system. Almost all the mechanical operations, Reactions (biochemical), separations, downstream processing occur in our body system. Kinetics of biological reactions, enzyme kinetics, gene therapy, recombinant technology, drug delivery are some of the topics in biotechnology. Also, for chemical engineering courses, biotechnology is one of the electives in final year students in India in many universities. It is natural for a chemical engineer to take interest in biotechnology. Drug delivery systems play major role in the utilization of drugs. The mode of injection of the drug plays a major role is deciding ease of drug delivery. For the pharmaceutical compounds, it is very important to have proper drug delivery system which will keep their effect intact during the transportation in side our body [1-4].
