The PharmSci 2012 Conference will 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, JPAG, UK&ICRS, and the RPS 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. There will also be opportunities to network and enhance knowledge for both academic and industrial attendees in a wide range of disciplines.

At this, the 3rd Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences conference, you will hear presentations on new findings from prestigious leaders and young science researchers on various topics including Polymeric and self-assembled delivery systems, The future of in-vitro drug release testing approaches in product development, Bugs and drugs with a focus on anti-infectives, Tackling counterfeiting by formulation and processing approaches, ‘Green’ formulations and processes, Medicinal chemistry, Biopharmaceutics, Age, disease and gender differences in drug delivery, Inhaled product development.

The conference will have extensive opportunities for submitted oral presentations and posters. Plenary presentations will include a Keynote address by the Conference Chairman, Professor Jayne Lawrence of King’s College, London, and Award Lectures.

The Conference will include a large pharmaceutical sciences exhibition to highlight large pharma companies, small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), contract research organizations (CROs) 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.
