3RD ANNUAL ASIA-PACIFIC INSIGHT SYMPOSIUM

May 26th-27th 2018

In 2018, our student chapter focused on fostering international relationships by co-organizing the 3rd Annual InSight Symposium. In collaboration with the AAPS Student Chapter at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and China Pharmaceutical University (CPU; Nanjing, China), this entirely student-planned symposium provided the opportunity for students and faculty from the three participating universities, as well as the Nanjing Medical University, to share their research and encourage collaborations. We were fortunate to have the current AAPS president Dr. Christopher McCurdy to attend and share a talk. The symposium was hosted by the students at CPU in Nanjing, China, with approximately 125 scientists in attendance. UCSF and UOP students visited the scientific and clinical laboratories of CPU, as well as the CPU Pharmacy Museum. Additionally, a chartered tour was organized to visit Nanjing Sanhome Pharmaceutical Co.
