From Organs-on-Chip to advanced drug delivery and particle engineering
Symposium programme
The symposium is a valuable training opportunity for PhD students in pharmaceutical sciences, offering direct exposure to pioneering research in drug delivery, pharmacokinetics, and advanced biomedical models. By engaging with a diverse range of topics - from organs-on-a-chip and particle engineering to intelligent therapeutic strategies - students expand their scientific perspectives beyond their own research areas and strengthen their understanding of the full pipeline from experimental discovery to clinical application. Interaction with internationally renowned scientists fosters networking, inspires new research ideas, and introduces innovative tools and methodologies shaping the future of the field.
