SHELTON, Conn., Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NNVC) (the
"Company"), reports that its President Dr. Anil Diwan was recently invited to participate in certain pharmaceutical industry
meetings to comment on regulatory aspects of nanomedicines.
On September 21, 2016, Dr. Anil Diwan, President and Chairman of the Company, was invited as
panel participant to discuss "Regulatory Landscape: What's Needed to Drive Innovation" in the "Anti-Infectives-Rx 2016"
Conference organized by Boston Biotech Conferences and held at the Harvard Medical School - Joseph B.
Martin Conference Center, Boston, MA.
On September, 19, 2016, Dr. Diwan was invited to present two talks at the "Public Health and Emerging Microbial Threats, 14th
Annual International Conference" (PHEMT), held at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences,
Albany, NY 12208, USA.
Dr. Diwan presented a talk entitled "Beyond Antibodies: Chemical Nanomachines to Combat Emerging Virus Threats" about the
Nanoviricides technology and accomplishments in the first session at PHEMT.
Additionally, Dr. Diwan was invited to and presented a talk on "Nanomedicine Drug Development Regulatory Processes: Critical
Issues" in the second session at PHEMT. He discussed that fundamentally nanomedicines were no different in terms of regulatory
requirements, namely, safety, efficacy, and product quality. He further illuminated that, in contrast to small chemicals, the
complex nature of nanomedicines requires significantly extensive work to develop manufacturing processes and characterization
methods to meet the criterion of being able to produce a nanomedicine that will be equivalent from batch to batch. He also
discussed how the scientists, mainly chemists and engineers, need to harness knowledge from various disciplines in order to build
quality into nanomedicines manufacture.
The PHEMT conference was co-chaired by Raj Bawa, MS, PhD, Bawa Biotech LLC, Ashburn, VA and
Adjunct Professor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY; and
Shaker A. Mousa, PhD, MBA, Vice Provost and Professor, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health
Sciences, Albany, NY and Chairman & Executive Vice President, The Pharmaceutical Research
Institute, Rensselaer, NY.
