The aims of the UK-PharmSci Conference 2010 are to showcase the best of pharmaceutical science from the UK and around the world bringing together academic and industrial institutions, providing state of the art technologies and a platform for the development of new pharmaceutical talent. The intention is to work with related partner organisations such as, EUFEPS, JPAG, UK&ICRS, the HealthTech and Medicines Knowledge Transfer Network, IPG and the RPSGB together with the Academy's focus groups to deliver a high quality science programme.

In keeping with the Academy's philosophy to promote interaction and collaboration between the multidisciplinary subjects which constitute the pharmaceutical sciences we are keen to attract both undergraduate and postgraduate students by offering a programme that develops presentation skills and the scientific networks essential for future careers. The will also be opportunities to network and enhance knowledge for both academic and industrial attendees in a wide range of disciplines.

At the new-style conference on “The Science of Medicines” you will hear presentations on the new findings from prestigious leaders and young science researchers and in various topics including biopharmaceutics, biologicals, materials science, pharmaceutical analysis, pharmaceutical chemistry, particle processing, and quality by design, regenerative medicine and medicinal chemistry.

The conference will have extensive opportunities for submitted oral presentations and posters. Plenary presentations will include a Keynote address by the Conference Chairman, Professor Kevin Shakesheff, University of Nottingham, and Award Lectures.

The Conference will include a large pharmaceutical sciences exhibition to highlight large pharma companies, small and medium size enterprises, contract research organisations and technology suppliers.  SMEs will also have opportunity to present their technologies at a special showcase event. The exhibition, related conference sessions and social events will help delegates develop their personal and professional network to meet future needs.
