Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 1st International Electronic Conference on Pharmaceutics that will be held online at https://sciforum.net/conference/IECP2020 from 1 to 15 December, 2020. Participation in the conference is free.
The drive for new, efficient, and cost-effective drugs and medical products has led to exciting new developments and innovative research in the field of pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical technology in recent years. Significant changes are occurring in drug production and development, such as the movement from batch to continuous manufacturing and to more environmentally sustainable methods for drug manufacturing, the shift to personalized medicine, and the growing importance of in silico methods for drug development.
The 1st International Electronic Conference on Pharmaceutics will bring together experts from academia and industry to share new ideas, technologies, and innovations in the broad areas of pharmaceutical formulation, process development, drug delivery, pharmacokinetics, and biopharmaceutics. The online conference will offer a platform for presenting the latest research and will allow participants to engage in discussions with international colleagues via online question-and-answers sessions and discussion groups. The conference will cover a wide range of topics with specific sessions dedicated to:
- Formulation of poorly soluble drugs
- Cyclodextrins in pharmaceutics
- Electrospun/sprayed drug delivery systems
- Advances in pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism
- Transdermal and topical drug delivery
- Brain drug delivery
- Nanomedicine for cancer
All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee. Upon acceptance of their abstract, authors will be asked to contribute accepted papers to the conference proceedings and a slide presentation of their work. The authors of the most outstanding contributions will be invited to submit a full manuscript for potential publication in a Special Issue of the open-access journal Pharmaceutics (Impact Factor: 4.421).
We sincerely hope that you will participate in the 1st International Electronic Conference on Pharmaceutics and look forward to welcoming you online.
