2026 Annual Meeting and International Conference of the KSPST
December 2nd (Wed) – 4th (Fri), 2026
Songdo Convensia Premier Ballroom, Incheon, Republic of Korea
Dear KSPST Members and Participants,
On behalf of the Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (KSPST), it is my great pleasure to welcome all members, researchers, professionals, and distinguished international guests to the 2026 KSPST Annual Meeting and International Conference.
The conference will be held from December 2 to 4, 2026, at Songdo Convensia in Incheon, Korea, under the theme "Advancing Pharmaceutical Frontiers through Integrative Sciences and Innovative Technologies." This theme reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of pharmaceutical sciences and emphasizes the importance of integrating diverse scientific disciplines and innovative technologies to address emerging challenges in drug development and healthcare.
The 2026 KSPST conference has been carefully prepared to provide a comprehensive forum for sharing the latest advances in pharmaceutical research and technology. The program encompasses a broad range of topics, including biotechnology, drug delivery, advanced biopharmaceuticals, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics and metabolism, polymer science, materials science, pharmaceutical manufacturing, regulatory science, and global pharmaceutical development.
This year's program features plenary lectures, KSPST award lectures, an educational session, poster presentations, and joint sessions with leading academic and professional organizations. Distinguished speakers from Korea and around the world will share their expertise and perspectives on cutting-edge topics, including next-generation drug delivery systems, mRNA and lipid nanoparticle technologies, nanomedicine, advanced biotherapeutics, translational ADME, pharmaceutical CMC, long-acting injectables, and regulatory developments. These sessions will provide valuable opportunities to explore how integrative science and innovative technologies can advance pharmaceutical research from fundamental discovery to clinical and industrial application.
We believe that this conference will serve as a meaningful platform for researchers and professionals from academia, industry, research institutes, and government to exchange ideas, share recent findings, discuss industrial and regulatory trends, and establish new collaborative relationships. In particular, the active participation of young scientists and students will further enrich the scientific exchange and contribute to the future development of pharmaceutical sciences and technology.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all invited speakers, session organizers, members of the Organizing Committee whose dedication and support have made this conference possible. I hope that the 2026 KSPST Annual Meeting and International Conference will provide an inspiring and rewarding experience for everyone.
I warmly welcome you once again and sincerely wish you a successful, memorable, and enjoyable conference.
Warmest regards,
Cheong-Weon Cho, Ph.D.
President, KSPST
