Welcome Address
On behalf of the Australian Controlled Release Society (OzCRS), we welcome you to the 2022 Drug Delivery Australia Annual Conference, being held in Adelaide at the University of South Australia, City West Campus. This year’s conference theme is ‘Pharmaceutical Delivery: Enabling Clinical Translation of New Medicines’. This is the first DDA in-person meeting after two years of virtual/online events due to the COVID pandemic responses, that made travel impossible, then very difficult – we are so pleased to be able to see everyone in person again!
Conference highlights include plenary talks from internationally recognised experts including; Prof Kathryn Whitehead (Carnegie Mellon University), Prof Maria Kavallaris (University of New South Wales), Prof Frank Caruso (The University of Melbourne) and Prof Hélder Santos (University of Groningen), along with many invited and contributed speakers and posters. We also have the MTPConnect pitch session to look forward to, showcasing the imagination of our emerging young scientists.
These events do not occur without the support of the local community, but also our sponsors, including BioCina and UniSA Clinical and Health Sciences (Platinum), ATA Scientific and Mayne Pharma (Gold), MMIC (Conference dinner) as well as UniSA Ventures, Numedico, Madderns, MDPI and MTPConnect. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for supporting DDA2022!
We are excited to be holding the conference cocktail function Thursday night at the new Sky City Sol Rooftop located atop the iconic Eos Hotel. This will be a wonderful opportunity for conference delegates to network in a relaxed atmosphere. Don’t forget to make the most of the photobooth available on the night!
The venue, University of South Australia, City West Campus, is conveniently located in the Adelaide CBD;
numerous shops, cafés and restaurants are in close proximity, as are other attractions such as the Adelaide Zoo, the Torrens river and parklands as well as the Adelaide Oval.
We hope you enjoy your time in Adelaide for DDA 2022.
Clive Prestidge, Sanjay Garg and Tim Barnes (Conference Co-Chairs)
