Organization
The CNCD is organized under the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.
Director Peter Swaan, PhD, and Co-Director Anjan Nan, PhD, provide vision, leadership, scientific direction, and administrative oversight of the center.
The Executive Council consists of the director, codirector, and senior members of the center who assist in identifying priority research themes and funding opportunities. The council promotes interactions between CNCD members and beyond to encourage goal attainment in the priority research areas.
The Advisory Board advises the center’s membership on scientific and administrative issues. The board consists of scientists and administrative leaders external to the center membership who are leaders in the field of drug delivery, nanotechnology, and translational research, or who serve in key administrative positions in the University System of Maryland, to facilitate collaborative research. The board will review the annual report of the center and provide advice and counsel for future center activities.
