Pharmaceutical reseaches aim at mechanistically uncovering the pharmacokinetic profiles of drugs, and at developing techniques of controlling and manupilating them into desirable appearances. With time, the structure of diseases becomes complicated and makes it more difficult to develop new drugs. Under this circumstance, demands for drug delivery analyses and technologies are more and more increasing. The International Symposium on Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutical Sciences: Beyond the History (ISDDPS) follows the history and progress of pharmaceutical researches over several decades and discusses the front-end and future directions from the comprehensive point of view. The ISDDPS will contribute to developing the next-generation of pharmaceutical researches as well as guiding and training young investigators.

We invite 17 guest speakers for 5 sessions from the inside and outside of Japan. We also welcome poster presentations by general participants. We hope this symposium will provide a platform for scientific exchange in the field of drug delivery and pharmaceutical sciences.
