The Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology (KSPST) is a professional and scholarly organization whose 1'200 members actively lead pharmaceutical research and development in academia, government, and pharma-bio industries. Since its foundation in 1971, KSPST has been dedicated to promoting excellence and advancements in pharmaceutical science and technology, thereby becoming a highly prestigious non-profit organization with global leadership.

To reinforce the global network of pharmaceutical experts and share progress in high-end science, KSPST organizes national and international conferences regularly, including the Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the KSPST. Furthermore, KSPST has an international, peer-reviewed journal, “Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation (J. Pharm. Investig.)”, which is published bimonthly and covers all aspects of pharmaceutical sciences.

The PSSRC aims to initiate and foster collaborative research between its members in all areas of the pharmaceutical solid state field by forming a network with equipment and expertise for processing of pharmaceuticals with all critical unit operations and related solid state analysis, providing a discussion forum to exchange ideas and facilitate novel innovations, providing a network to exchange members of the cluster through student and staff research visits and facilitating collaborations of its members in joint academic research projects and projects with the industry.
