Drugs must be delivered to the target tissue or, better yet, the target organelles. A more specific target minimizes toxicity and side effects and maximizes therapeutic effect. This book is a comprehensive review of Organelle Targeting.
Dr. Lara Scheherazade Milane is the Bouv? College of Health Sciences Distinguished Educator (2021) and Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Northeastern University, Boston, MA.

Dr. Mansoor M. Amiji is the University Distinguished Professor, Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Professor of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. His primary areas of research interest are in the development of targeted therapeutic solutions for chronic diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Dr. Amiji has edited 10 books including Applied Physical Pharmacy (now in 3rd edition), Nanotechnology for Cancer Therapy (Taylor & Francis, 2007), Handbook of Materials for Nanomedicine (Pan Stanford Publishing, 2010), and Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications of Exosomes in Cancer (Elsevier, 2018) along with over 70 published book chapters, and over 360 peer-reviewed articles.
We have surpassed the omics era and are truly in the Age of Molecular Therapeutics. The fast-paced development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, such as the mRNA vaccines encoding the viral spike protein, demonstrated the need for and capabilitls.
