What is AAPS ? • AAPS is the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists • Founded in 1986 • A professional, scientific association of approximately 11,000 pharmaceutical scientistsemployed in industry, academia, government, and other research institutes worldwide. • AAPS provides a dynamic international forum for the exchange of knowledge among scientists to enhance their contributions to health. • AAPS offers timely scientific programs, ongoing education, opportunities for networking, and professional development.
Who we are? Engineers Physicians Many more related fields Biologists Chemists AAPS members Biopharmaceutics scientists Pharmacists Pharmaceutics scientists Multidiscipline involved in the discovery, development, and manufacture of pharmaceutical products and therapies the Goal of this outreach initiative!
What are Student Benefits? Networking opportunity • AAPS Visiting Scientist Program • Mentoring Events • AAPS Sections, Focus Groups and Discussion Groups Up-to-date pharmaceutical news • AAPS Newsmagazine • AAPS Student Center • Monthly Student/Postdoc Focus Emails • eLearning, Webinars Professional development • AAPS Student Center • Student Representative to Sections and Committees • AAPS Career Network • AAPS Awards/Travelships • Programming and volunteers
Choose the AAPS Section that’s Right for You • AAPS sections are groups of AAPS members with interests in a particular area of the pharmaceutical sciences. Thesections brochure will assist in selecting the best section for you. • APQ - Analysis and Pharmaceutical Quality section • BIOTEC - Biotechnology section • CPTR - Clinical Pharmacology and Translational Research section • DDDI - Drug Discovery and Development Interface section • FDD - Formulation Design and Development section • MSE - Manufacturing Science and Engineering section • PPB - Physical Pharmacy and Biopharmaceutics section • PPDM - Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Metabolism section • RS - Regulatory Sciences section
PPB section • PPB is the Physical Pharmacy and Biopharmaceutics section • A multidisciplinary section that focuses on preformulation, biopharmaceutics, drug absorption, nanotechnology, and drug delivery systems design and performance including targeted drug delivery. Vision:The PPB section will be recognized as the premiere global organization for scientists involved in physicochemical and biopharmaceuticcharacterization and deliveryof small molecules and biologics.
PPB: a Multidisciplinary Science Material science (polymorphs, forms, salts), physical stability and chemical stability Drug Substance/Formulation Solubility, pKa, etc. amorphous/crystalline Nanotech Solubility ↑ Bile Salt ↑ In vivo solubility ↓ Precipitation Rate Biorelevant Solubility Precipitation Time Dissolution Profile GI physiology: ↑ Stomach pH ↑ Stomach emptying Time ↓ Intestinal pH ↑ GI blood flow PBPK models Fabs , F Disposition PK (CL, Vd) In vitro-In vivo Scaling Effective Permeability Permeability: Inhibition of Efflux or Uptake Transporters GI transporter Jmax, Km Caco-2 or MDCK Papp
PPB section Mission: • Forumfor the open interchange, discussion, and dissemination of emerging scientific developments, technologies, and regulatory knowledge regarding the principles and practices of physical pharmacy and biopharmaceutics • Promote the continued growth of the sciences underpinning physicochemical and biopharmaceutic characterization of small molecules and biologics, pharmaceutical excipients and adjuvants, drug candidate selection, drug transport and absorption, preformulation, and biopharmaceutics data guiding the formulation and drug delivery strategies • Foster pharmaceutical education, career growth, and professional development of the section membership • Encourage the publication of physical pharmacy and biopharmaceutics related research and data in AAPS publications • Recognize excellence in achievements and professional contributions of PPB members and collaborating with and supporting other AAPS sections, focus groups, and international professional/scientific organizations
