Abstract

The following article is an edited transcript based on the Von Hippel Award presentation by Robert Langer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on November 30, 2005, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston. Langer was honored with MRS's highest award for his “pioneering accomplishments in the science and application of biomaterials in drug delivery and tissue engineering, particularly in inventing the use of materials for protein and DNA delivery, and for his achievements in interdisciplinary research which have generated new medical products, created new fields of biomaterials science, and inspired research programs throughout the world.”
