Research Day 2025

Registration is $75 and includes breakfast, conference sessions, and lunch. Registration deadline is September 12, 2025. Students and trainees get free registration and may submit abstracts for poster competition with monetary prizes.

The purpose of the conference is a research-based discussion of the ways in which pharmaceutical science-based studies contribute to modern medicine. The conference will focus on the integration of various areas of pharmacy research and how pharmacy as a field is contributing to the development of novel therapeutics, personalized medicine initiatives and commercial product development — topics to be covered during conference sessions. Opportunities exist for postdoctoral and graduate trainees to present their research work. The conference is tailored to health professionals, pharmacists, researchers and trainees, as well as those potentially considering this field as a career path.
