Dear members and colleagues of the Pharmaceutical Society of Korea (PSK),
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 2025 Fall International Conference of the PSK, which will take place from October 22 to 24, 2025, at the COEX Magok Convention Center, Republic of Korea.
Themed “Integrating Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Therapeutics,” this year’s conference will highlight the power of cross-disciplinary partnerships in driving innovation across the full spectrum of drug discovery, development, and clinical application. The program is designed to foster dialogue among basic, translational, and clinical researchers, as well as industry and regulatory leaders, who share the goal of accelerating progress in healthcare.
I am honored to welcome the distinguished plenary lecturers Drs. Yoshinori Kawaguchi and Guido Frank Pauli, who will share their pioneering research and visionary perspectives, inspiring all of us to explore new frontiers in therapeutics. Dr. Kawaguchi will present “Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment with ADCs: A Deep Dive into the Early Clinical Development of T-DXd.” Dr. Pauli will delve into his groundbreaking research on “Integrative Science Advances Pharmaceutical Integrity.” I am also truly honored to welcome Dr. Patrick Mehlen, who will present “Dependence receptors: a new paradigm in cell signaling and cancer therapy.”
The conference will also celebrate the recipients of the PSK Pharmaceutical Achievement Awards, recognizing outstanding contributions to our field. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the awardees for their remarkable achievements.
A special highlight will be the joint symposium commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Manufacturers Association. This symposium will explore the past, present, and future of new drug development. Additionally, six YSS sessions led by young students, twenty-five symposia, two luncheon symposia, and the PSK Award Lectures will present the latest advancements in pharmaceutical sciences. Together, these sessions will offer exceptional opportunities for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and networking among researchers, industry professionals, and academia.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our invited speakers, session organizers, and all members of the scientific and organizing committees for their tireless efforts in preparing this exceptional program.
I warmly encourage you to join us for this enriching gathering. Your participation will not only deepen scientific exchange but also strengthen the global network of pharmaceutical scientists committed to improving human health. I look forward to welcoming you to Seoul this fall for an inspiring and memorable event.
President of The Pharmaceutical Society of Korea
