2009 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition<br />

Description <strong>of</strong> Sections<br />

The PPB Section is composed <strong>of</strong> members whose<br />

scientific interests are in the physicochemical<br />

and biological factors that impact the design<br />

and delivery <strong>of</strong> small molecules and biologics.<br />

PPB is a multidisciplinary section that focuses<br />

on preformulation, biopharmaceutics, drug<br />

absorption, nanotechnology, and drug delivery<br />

systems design and performance including targeted<br />

drug delivery. PPB provides an interactive forum<br />

for the exchange <strong>of</strong> information pertaining to the<br />

selection <strong>of</strong> developable drug candidates at the drug<br />

discovery-development interface, characterization<br />

<strong>of</strong> drug substance and excipients, studies <strong>of</strong><br />

relationships between drugs’ physicochemical and<br />

biopharmaceutical properties and physiological<br />

considerations at the cellular, organ, and whole<br />

animal levels, and overcoming drug absorption<br />

and delivery barriers via drug delivery technologies.<br />

The PPDM Section provides an international forum<br />

to examine issues related to the biopharmaceutics,<br />

pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug<br />

metabolism and transport <strong>of</strong> pharmaceutical<br />

products and therapies. PPDM brings together<br />

individuals whose research interests include<br />

characterization <strong>of</strong> drug and chemical actions,<br />

disposition, and biotransformation at the organism,<br />

tissue, cellular, and subcellular levels. The<br />

section provides an opportunity for networking,<br />

presentation <strong>of</strong> new data and an exchange <strong>of</strong> ideas<br />

by individuals actively engaged in various facets<br />

<strong>of</strong> pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug<br />

metabolism and transport, biopharmaceutics, and<br />

related sciences. This scientific exchange enables<br />

scientists from academia, industry, and regulatory<br />

agencies to improve/develop better patient<br />

therapies while jointly advancing their pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

development and respective disciplines. PPDM<br />

recognizes the need for education and training<br />

<strong>of</strong> new scientists through active recruitment <strong>of</strong><br />

new students and post-doctoral fellows, support<br />

<strong>of</strong> graduate faculty, and encouraging student<br />

participation within PPDM.<br />

The RS Section <strong>of</strong> AAPS is composed <strong>of</strong> members<br />

whose interests focus on multidisciplinary scientific<br />

aspects <strong>of</strong> pharmaceutical development and<br />

regulatory approval as they relate to quality, safety<br />

and efficacy <strong>of</strong> the product (e.g., manufacturing,<br />

quality, pharmacology, toxicology, clinical trials,<br />

law, and intellectual property).<br />
