Abstract
The Academy ofPharmaceutical Sciences (APSGB) hosts the annual Pharm Sci Conference, the UK’spremier pharmaceutical sciences event championing ‘The Science of Medicines’.In 2018 the 9th conference was linked to the FIP Conference held inGlasgow and consequently was a shorter meeting. The theme of APS Pharm Sci 2018was ‘The Science of Differentiated Medicines’
Highlights
The conference had three streams focussing on age-related medicine; medicines and diagnostics in the developing world and targeted/ stratified therapies
Key abstracts and posters are published in this issue of the British Journal of Pharmacy covering the topics of the conference, but other aspects related to the discovery, development, production and testing of drug products
Nanomedicines remain a hot topic with abstracts covering the preparation and characterisation of liposomes for cell transfection in gene therapy and in another abstract for formulations of cinnarizine; the effect of the preparation method on the characteristics of niosomes; the delivery of anticancer peptides by biodegradable nanostructures; the fabrication and characterisation of PLGA nanoparticles for delivery of the antipsychotic pimozide; the nano-precipitation of budesonide in various systems; the use of microneedles to deliver hypericin-loaded nanocapsules for improved localised photodynamic therapy
