On behalf of the organizing committee and all the members of the KSPST (the Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology), I would like to welcome everyone to the 2017 International Conference of KSPST which will take place at The K-Hotel Seoul from November 30 to December 1. The main theme of this year's conference is "New Horizons in Pharmaceutical Science and Technology" reflecting on the rapid progress and novel innovations that the field of the pharmaceutical sciences and technology has seen over the recent years.

This year, we are very honored to welcome various experts from the academia, pharmaceutical industry, and regulatory organizations from different parts of the world. It will be a great opportunity to share and discuss most up-to-date research findings, industry trends, and regulatory updates in drug development and pharmaceutical manufacturing technology. In addition, this conference hopes to provide every participant with opportunities to not only expand the understandings of recent research developments but also build relationships that could last beyond this conference.

Again, I welcome you to the 2017 International Conference of KSPST.

Sincerely yours,

Sung-Joo Hwang, Ph. D.
