The 8 th World Meeting on Pharmaceutics,<br />
Biopharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology<br />
was a great success !<br />
On March 19-22 the 8th World Meeting on Pharmaceutics, Biopharmaceutics<br />
and Pharmaceutical Technology was held in Istanbul, jointly<br />
organized with the <strong>APV</strong> and ADRITELF.<br />
The meeting was an outstanding success with more than 1300 participants<br />
coming from all over the world (all 5 continents, more than 60<br />
countries) and more than 900 submitted abstracts.<br />
Special highlights included the comprehensive and exciting plenary<br />
lectures given by Prof. P. Couvreur, Dr. A. Hussain and Prof. H.L. Offerhaus.<br />
Prof. Couvreur clearly and enthusiastically pointed out the<br />
strengths and limitations of advanced nanomaterials allowing for drug<br />
delivery and targeting.<br />
In addition, four parallel sessions of invited talks and short presentations<br />
from submitted abstracts gave an overview on the most recent<br />
advances and newest trends in our field. This was also true for the<br />
highly remarkable poster sessions and the (fully booked) industrial<br />
exhibition "ResearchPharm", which presented novel products in the<br />
area of pharmaceutical ingredients, processing equipment, analytical<br />
technologies, medicinal products, medical devices, contract manufacturing<br />
and recent publishing.<br />
Special emphasis was placed on industrial related topics, in particular:<br />
Drug delivery to special populations: pediatrics and geriatrics, drug<br />
counterfeiting, Quality by Design, oral controlled release products,<br />
therapeutic vaccination, oral products for poorly water soluble drugs,<br />
therapeutic protein modifications and biological relevance, industrial<br />
manufacturing of solid dosage forms, nanotechnology and special<br />
delivery devices.<br />
The special mix of oral and poster presentations together with the<br />
industrial exhibition allowed for intensive exchange between the participants<br />
and the initiation of fruitful cooperation between university<br />
and industry.<br />
