Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the PSSA
Dear friends and colleagues,
On behalf of The Academy of Pharma"ceutical Sciences, I would like to invite
and welcome you to the 6th ICPPS. This initiative of a combined conference of
Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences in South Africa was established in
1996 and has become a highly stimulating scientific and social event, organised every
2-3 years by a different University.
The Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences was established in 1979 and caters for the
needs of its members involved in any sphere of pharmaceutical education, research
and development. The mission of The Academy is to advance pharmaceutical
sciences in South Africa, promote research and education, provide expert opinion and
recognise excellence by providing a forum for free interchange and dissemination of
scientific knowledge and skills by means of meetings, congresses, and publications.
This is obtained by encouraging excellence in research and education and active
participation in proceedings and activities of the scientific and pharmaceutical
communities on national and international levels. Initiation of joint ventures like this
ICPPS is an activity deemed expedient to realise these objectives.
This conference is a key event for the pharmaceutical scientist in South Africa and
offers an attractive multidisciplinary scope of attendance and presentations. As
always, it promises to be an event where scientific and social interactions could lead
to lifelong collaboration and friendship.
We look forward to your active participation.

South African Society for Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (SASBCP)
Dear colleague
The SASBCP takes great pleasure in welcoming our international guests and members to this 6th ICPPS 2011, a long-standing joint meeting between the PSSA and the SASBCP, and joined by SANS. Prof Suleman and her group at UKZN have indeed put together an excellent programme that brings people together. We wish to express our sincere gratitude for our sponsors and exhibitors who, by their valuable participation, contribute to capacity building in medicinal sciences in South Africa.
This year the Organisers at UKZN have chosen a multidimensional theme "Mind the Gap", capturing many of the challenges we face in medicinal sciences in South Africa and the African continent as a whole. As a scientific community we are responsible not only to foster the highest standards in science, but also to serve within the context of our local and wider communities.
The SASBCP has become a very dynamic society, actively participating in the leadership of international committees, a 'Pharmacology for Africa' initiative, local capacity building and as an organisation that offers new opportunities to its members for national and international collaboration and networking. We look forward to hosting the 17th World Congress of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (WCP2014) in Cape Town, which will actively promote and build bridges in basic, clinical and translational aspects of the discipline.
As Society we remain committed to serve you as member, also by collaborating with the Organisers of the 6th ICPPS 2011, to create platforms for scientific excellence, networking and memorable experiences.
