November 26th (Wed) – 28th (Fri), 2025
Sejong University Convention Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea
Dear Participants,
On behalf of the Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (KSPST), it is a great honor to welcome all our esteemed members and distinguished international guests to the 2025 KSPST Annual Meeting and International Conference.
The conference will be held from November 26–28, 2025, at Sejong University in Seoul, Korea—a place where tradition meets innovation. The venue reflects the spirit of the event, held under the theme “Converging Technologies for the Next Era of Pharmaceutical Sciences,” which highlights the growing importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and technological convergence in advancing pharmaceutical research and healthcare solutions.
The conference brings together researchers, professionals, and policymakers from around the world to explore recent advances in drug delivery, biopharmaceutics, materials science, regulatory science, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It features 2 plenary lectures, 1 educational session, and 10 scientific sessions, with 36 invited speakers. We are especially honored to welcome Professor Molly Shoichet from the University of Toronto as one of our plenary speakers. Furthermore, the conference will feature three joint sessions, co-hosted with the Controlled Release Society (CRS) Korea Chapter, the Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Manufacturers Association (KPBMA), and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). These sessions will showcase distinguished presentations by world-renowned researchers representing 10 countries: the United States, Belgium, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, and Korea.
This conference offers a timely opportunity for vibrant scientific exchange and meaningful collaboration, reaffirming KSPST’s commitment to innovation through interdisciplinary and global partnerships. We are sincerely grateful for your participation and wish you a truly rewarding and inspiring experience throughout the conference.
Warmest regards,
Hea-Young Cho, Ph.D.
President
Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology (KSPST)
