Fifth Symposium on Innovative Polymers for Controlled Delivery (SIPCD 2018) will be held in September 14-17, 2018 in Suzhou
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are very pleased to welcome you to the 5th Symposium on Innovative Polymers for
Controlled Delivery (SIPCD 2018), which will be held in September 14-17, 2018 in Suzhou, China. SIPCD 2018 is co-organized by Soochow University and BrightGene Bio-Medical Technology Co., Ltd.
SIPCD held biennially since 2010 has been established as a high-level conference in the fields of biomaterials, controlled drug delivery, protein and cell delivery, gene delivery polymer-based diagnostics, and tissue engineering. To our great pleasure, over 500 delegates from more than 150 institutions have registered for SIPCD 2018. As in SIPCD 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, 29 plenary lectures will all be given by top scientists including editors and associate editors of over 10 prestigious journals. The executive publisher in pharmacology and pharmaceutical science of Elsevier will give an author workshop. In SIPCD 2018, we have introduced a Biomacromolecules Forum in which 9 researchers have been selected to give a short oral presentation. SIPCD 2018 has accepted 353 poster presentations. Notably, eight posters will be selected for Biomacromolecules Poster Awards sponsored by the American Chemical Society. As for our previous events, SIPCD 2018 will publish a quality special issue in the Journal of Controlled Release (Elsevier). The symposium is organized in one single session, thus offering you the possibility to be present at all invited lectures and to participate in lively discussions about the most recent developments as well as challenges in biomedical polymers and controlled delivery.
We thank our sponsors for their enthusiastic cooperation and support, without which we cannot create such a vivid program.
We thank you for your active participation, and truly wish you a scientifically rewarding and socially enjoyable symposium!
With best regards,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
