About The Conference

Join us for the upcoming IRPES2024 International Conference on "Innovative Research in Pharmaceutical and Environmental Sciences; Focus on Bioactive Substances and Pharmaceutical process optimization", organized by the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Pisa and the Ph.D students of the doctoral school in "Science of Drug and Bioactive Substances".

This conference offers an exceptional scientific program including keynote presentations, plenary lectures, symposia, and poster presentations. With a focus on multidisciplinarity and the sharing of scientific knowledge, IRPES2024 aims to create synergies between different research realities. Highly qualified international scientists with diverse expertise in the chemical-pharmaceutical, medical, biological, and molecular fields will be present, ensuring an excellent scientific level and the dissemination of the most recent discoveries and advances in research.

The unique multidisciplinary nature of our Doctoral Course in Drug and Bioactive Substances Science inspired us to organize this workshop. With our expertise in different sectors including Phytochemistry, Computational Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Technology, Organic Chemistry, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology, we are actors in a multi-sectoral field of research. Sharing research results with internationally renowned speakers will allow us to enrich our knowledge, create new collaborative networks for the development of project ideas, increase the level of internationalization of the Ph.D program, and promote the growth of Ph.D students towards autonomous and conscious research.

Join us at IRPES2024 and be part of this exciting opportunity to network and learn from leading experts in the field!

Program

The conference program will be available shortly.
