Drug delivery network starts
A research network dedicated to advancing the science of drug delivery held its launch meeting last month.
The Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council drugs delivery
research network aims to bring together researchers from across academia,
industry and small-to-medium enterprises to focus on advancing the science
of drug delivery, with particular regard to the new classes of drugs.
The purpose of the initial meeting, held at the Royal Pharmaceutical
Society’s London headquarters, was to establish the ground rules
to inform the network’s first three years of activity. John Smart,
network co-ordinator and head of the Brighton school of pharmacy, explained
that the network would work in partnership with existing groups in the
area (such as the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the UK-Ireland
Controlled Release Society). |
