Frontier Seminar on Innovative Drug Formulation Development was held on October 28 at Taizhou University. Co-organized by the School of Life Sciences, Zhejiang International Science and Technology Cooperation Base for Bio-based Resource Development and Utilization, Taizhou Key Laboratory of Biomedicine and Advanced Dosage Forms, Taizhou Key Laboratory for Development and Application of Biomass Functional Materials, and Taizhou Key Discipline of Biology and Pharmacy, the seminar aimed to foster academic exchange and technology transfer, deepen the integration of “research-industry-clinical practice,” and boost innovation in biomedicine.

Opening Ceremony

Dean Zhao Kai of the School of Life Sciences presided over the opening ceremony and delivered a welcome address, highlighting the seminar’s significance for advancing clinical application and technological innovation in advanced drug formulations. The sessions were chaired by Fu Yongqian and Jin Zheng. Featured speakers included chief physicians and key young doctors from Zhejiang Taizhou Hospital, Taizhou Municipal Hospital, Taizhou Central Hospital, Wenling First People’s Hospital, and key faculty from Taizhou University.

The seminar focused on two core themes:

1. Clinical Medicine & Formulation Innovation: Chief Pharmacist Jiang Zhengli shared foundational and clinical research on drug formulations from Taizhou Hospital; Deputy Chief Pharmacist Wang Binhui discussed hospital pharmacy discipline development amidst modernization; Chief Pharmacist Xia Zhelin analyzed mechanisms of amino acid metabolism disorders in sepsis; Researcher Jiang Dawei introduced CNS-targeting macromolecular protein delivery systems.

2. Frontiers in Biomaterials & Nanomedicine: Professor Chen Qi discussed hospital discipline and team development under innovation; Associate Professor Wang Yiyu, Dr. Lin Yuhong, and Associate Professor Chu Wenhui shared advances in biomass macromolecular hydrogels for wound repair, functional self-assembled nanomedicines for tumors, and nano-carrier/sericin gels for bone repair.

Lecture Session

The seminar brought together experts from universities, hospitals, and research institutes. Through presentations and discussions, it facilitated the exchange of ideas, experiences, and resources, building a solid bridge for university-hospital collaboration and research translation. The School of Life Sciences will continue integrating resources to fuel innovation in the regional biomedical industry.
