12. Internationaler Galenus Workshop
(26.-27. März 2025) in Porto

Direkt im Anschluss an die „5th European Conference on Pharmaceutics“ wird ein zweitägiger Galenus International Workshop am Institut für Pharmazeutische Technologie und Biopharmazie der Universität in Porto/ Portugal stattfinden, der unter der Leitung von Frau Dr. Claudia Martins und Prof. Bruno Sarmento stehen wird. Frau Dr. Martins hatte im November 2023 den Galenus-Technologie-Preis in Wien gewonnen. Der Workshop in Porto zum Thema: Bioengineering the Future Drug Delivery“ wird begleitet von einer umfangreichen Poster-Ausstellung und dem Wettbewerb um den Short Presentation Award.
