Special features of the conference

Workshop

A workshop on “Advanced Materials in Pharmaceutics” was conducted by Dr. Gareth Williams from United Kingdom. This workshop brought academic researchers and industry experts to discuss the role of advanced materials in formulation science, and to explore how work done in universities internationally can best be applied to the challenges facing industry. The Sessions focused on the following:

The need for new pharmaceutical materials and the state of the art in research;
Trends in emerging materials;
Intellectual property and novel materials;
Regulatory requirements and challenges.
