From Biopharmaceutics to Clinical Pharmaceutics
Welcome from the Chair
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Pharmaceutics 2027 – From Biopharmaceutics to Clinical Pharmaceutics, taking place in Barcelona, Spain from 28–30 June 2027. This milestone conference brings together leading researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and innovators from across the globe to exchange cutting-edge knowledge, discuss emerging trends, and forge vital partnerships across the pharmaceutical sciences.
The theme of this year's conference reflects our ambition to explore the entire continuum of pharmaceutical development. We will span the full spectrum from the fundamental principles of biopharmaceutics and innovative drug formulation to advanced drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical manufacturing, translational research, and clinical applications. Through an engaging program of keynote lectures, oral presentations, interactive poster sessions, and curated networking events, participants will gain deep insights into the latest scientific breakthroughs and the regulatory or technical challenges shaping the future of our field.
Pharmaceutics 2027 aims to provide a dynamic, interdisciplinary platform. We actively encourage researchers from academia, industry, and healthcare sectors to participate—whether by presenting groundbreaking work, sharing unique technical expertise, or engaging in the vibrant discussions that drive innovation and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Beyond the formal scientific sessions, the conference offers invaluable opportunities to establish fresh alliances, strengthen global professional networks, and connect with peers who give our international community its collective scientific weight.
I look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona for what promises to be an inspiring, collaborative, and highly productive conference.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Patrick J. Sinko

University of Alberta, Canada;Dr. Neal M. Davies received his undergraduate degree in Pharmacy from the University of Alberta in 1991. In 1996, he completed his Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences, specializing in pharmacokinetics, at the University of Alberta. From 1995 to 1998, he undertook postdoctoral training in pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Calgary. He then joined the University of Sydney as a lecturer in 1998. In 2002, he returned to North America to join the Washington State University’s (WSU) College of Pharmacy as an academic staff member, where he has held the positions of Director of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate Program, as well as Director of Professional and Undergraduate Research and Director of Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. He was active on numerous university-wide committees, including service as a member of WSU’s Faculty Senate and Chair of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committe. From 2011-2016 he was Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba. Throughout his career, Dr. Davies has strived to maintain the highest standard of teaching and research, and his achievements in both areas have been recognized through numerous awards and honours including several from the United States Pharmacopeia and the Canadian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He has taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and has an ongoing and significant commitment toward graduate supervision and training. He has been at the forefront of the use of technology in the classroom, has re-engineered curricular content and maintained a high standard in student mentoring. Dr. Davies also maintains an active and highly collaborative externally-funded research program, focused on pharmacokinetics and drug delivery as well as basic and clinical pharmaceutical sciences which have attracted National Institutes of Health and Industry funds.
