This year, UKICRS is heading north for its annual Symposium to the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow!!! Come join us on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th June. Details are available here: ukicrs.org/2026-symposium…

The #UKICRS is back in the Emerald Isle this year (12–13 June) for its annual symposium. The @RCSI_Irl will be hosting the event in #Dublin. Further information at: ukicrs.org/2025-symposium…

Come work with two great groups across two fun cities!

Don’t forget to register for the #ukicrs Online Symposium on 6th Nov 14:00-17:00 (UK); ukicrs.org/2024-online-se…. Keynote Speakers: @joey_o_shea @Pharmacy_UCC & Dr Georgina Marsh @SwanseaUni.

I still have 1 PhD opening in my lab for a polymer based nanomedicine project - open only to UK/Irish nationals only. Please contact me if you are interested

I have two fully funded PhD studentships in my lab in nanomedicine development (one on polymers and one on solid lipid nanoparticles), open to UK Home Fee status (or Irish) students only. Starting in October 24. Contact me if interested.

We were delighted to host the UKICRS conference here in Redwood over the past few days. From early career researchers to a host of exhibitors it's been a fascinating few days on controlled release.

Many congratulations to the two oral presentation winners: Corinna Schlosser @cs_schlosser @School_Pharmacy and Roizza So @UoN_Pharmacy. #ukicrs

Many congratulations to the two poster winners: Carwyn Hughes @PharmacyCU and Febri Annuryanti @pharmacyatQUB. #ukicrs
