Symposia and Career Development Session Proposals Due March 31

AAPS is now accepting programming ideas for the 2020 PharmSci 360. Submit your presentation idea by March 31, 2020, to be considered for various programming including:

• scientific symposia,
• Rapid Fire presentations,
• career development sessions, and
• workshops and short courses held in conjunction with PharmSci 360.

Your program ideas are vital to the success of PharmSci 360. Contribute to the body of science and the exchange of knowledge—submit a proposal! PharmSci 360’s programming covers every aspect of the pharmaceutical sciences in a 6-track format.

Please note:

• ALL scientific programming is THEMED—you will increase your submission’s chance of acceptance by showing the scientists on the PharmSci 360 Scientific Programming Committee the relationship between your proposal and a specific track’s theme.
• ANYONE can submit proposals to one or more of available session types, including preconference workshops and short courses, scientific symposia, Hot Topics, Rapid Fires, and more!

Visit the 2020 PharmSci 360 submission instruction page to learn more about this year’s programming—including the tracks, topics, and themes it will cover—as well as how to submit your proposal.

Don’t forget AAPS is including a brand new track at PharmSci 360—Discovery and Basic Research!

Basic research advances fundamental knowledge and predictions that form the scientific foundation for progress in applied science. Discovery research leads to new scientific ideas, theories, applications, and ways of thinking that form the basis of growth and development in different fields. Generating this critical knowledge is the first step toward therapeutic innovation, providing new tools, and stimulation for new approaches to novel drugs and their development. Most basic research is conducted by universities and other nonprofit organizations. Without essential breakthroughs in discovery and basic research, the advancement of subsequent applied research toward novel therapies becomes stifled. Thus, discovery and basic research are key elements for both advancing science and identifying new approaches in the prevention and treatment of human disease.

In the context of drug development, discovery, and basic research provides the scientific framework for introducing novel therapeutics and implementing their application. Examples of discovery and basic research include, but are not limited to, identification and characterization of novel targets, receptors and signaling pathways; discovery and optimization of novel hit, lead, and drug candidate molecules; novel formulation approaches; innovative delivery devices; the study and characterization of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters; as well as understanding the underlying disease biology and pathophysiology.
