WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues,

It is our privilege and special pleasure to invite you to the 3rd International Congress of the Greek Local Chapter of the Controlled Release Society, on June 19th - 20th, 2017 in Athens, Greece.

This year the program focuses on the scientific and regulatory aspects of the two main formulation categories, namely, generics and biotechnological drugs/Biosimilars. In addition, special emphasis is given to the emerging field of complex drugs.
The list of topics quoted below gives a more detailed picture of the topics covered. We encourage the submission of oral or poster presentations from young scientists.

In order to guarantee the quality of future research and new practical applications, a dialogue between experienced colleagues, young scientists and professional is also encouraged.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Athens, Greece.

GENERICS: A. Scientific aspects of drug development and research such as dissolution and permeability studies, formulation work for conventional and modified release formulations (various routes of administration), analytical work, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic and bioequivalence studies; pharmacology and clinical pharmacology work. B. Regulatory issues such as biopharmaceuitc classification of drugs, biowaiver concepts, pediatric formulations, EMA and FDA guidelines, good manufacturing practice, good laboratory practice and good clinical practice.

COMPLEX DRUGS: Scientific and regulatory aspects for polymeric micelles, glatiramoids, iron carbohydrate complexes, low molecular heparines (molecules very close to complex drygs ) will be discussed. 

BIOTECHNOLOGICAL DRUGS (BIOSIMILARS): Physicochemical, immunological and regulatory aspects; clinical and non clinical work; applications in clinical practice.
