The Drug Delivery & Translational Medicine Seminar series, initiated by Dr. Weiping Wang in 2022, aims to invite the renowned scientists and rising star researchers to introduce cutting-edge technologies and breakthroughs on drug delivery systems and translational medicine. The seminar series was sponsored by the Department of Pharmacology & Pharmacy, HKU.

The students and faculty members across different disciplines are welcome to join in the coming seminars! We hope to create an interdisciplinary communication platform for knowledge exchange and potential collaborations.
