Conference Report: UK PharmSci 2010: the Science of Medicines

Pages 753-755 | Published online: 03 Dec 2010
 

Abstract

This conference was billed as the ‘premier conference for pharmaceutical scientists in the UK in 2010 and was organized by the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Great Britain (APSGB). It was, in fact, the inaugural annual conference of the APSGB and representatives of both academic and industrial institutions were organized to showcase the ‘best of pharmaceutical science from the UK and around the world‘. A diverse program over 3 days was split into four parallel sessions covering areas such as therapeutics, drug delivery, drug analysis, delivery technology, regenerative medicine, medicinal chemistry and quality by design. Content amounted to a total of 143 podium presentations, 54 by invited speakers and over 90 from selected abstract submissions. Daily poster sessions highlighting 300 separate pieces of original research encircled a trade exhibition by pharmaceutical companies, instrument manufacturers and professional bodies. There appeared to be a consensus that UK PharmSci 2010 was, for 3 days, a worthy forum for the 709 registered delegates based on the feedback given during, and immediately after the event.
