The first annual PEARRLs of Wisdom Week at the School of Pharmacy at UCC in Cork, Ireland, are just around the corner and preparations are in full swing. About 70 participants are expected for this 5-day event (19–23 June 2017) with 40 sessions dedicated to developing innovative drug formulation strategies and regulatory tools designed to expedite the development of emerging drug molecules into new licensed medicines.

The recruitment phase for the open PEARRL PhD positions has officially started. PEARRL is looking to recruit 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESR) in innovative bio-enabling formulation technologies, new biopharmaceuticals tools and emerging in silico methods.
