Pharmaceutics Sponsoring the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Drug Delivery System (DDS42), 30–31 July 2026, Tokushima, Japan

The 42nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Drug Delivery System (DDS42) is proud to announce its upcoming conference, bringing together researchers, clinicians, engineers, and industry professionals dedicated to advancing innovation in drug delivery science. This meeting reflects society’s continued commitment to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting cutting-edge discussions that drive the future of Drug Delivery Systems (DDS).

Under the theme “Aiming for the Pinnacle of DDS,” the conference draws inspiration from the summit of Mount Tsurugi, a sacred peak located in western Tokushima Prefecture. Just as Japan’s mountain ranges contain many unique peaks, the field of DDS encompasses diverse research areas and scientific approaches. By gathering experts from medicine, engineering, pharmacy, materials science, and related disciplines, DDS42 symbolizes a collective effort to reach new scientific heights and advance toward an even greater summit of innovation.

The theme also highlights the vital role of emerging scientists, emphasizing support for young researchers who are beginning their ascent toward future breakthroughs in DDS research. Set in the vibrant summer season of Tokushima, the meeting aims to create an energetic environment for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and passionate scientific dialogue.
