Welcome to the 13th Uppsala University Symposium on Pharmaceutical Profiling in Drug Discovery and Development. This symposium will focus on drug delivery and disposition, therapies, and strategies including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning used in drug discovery and development projects (DDD).

Symposium Januari 2025

The symposium will also honor Professor Per Artursson, SciLifeLab DDD scientific platform director, and his distinguished research career.
