    Hello, everyone!

    I recently joined the Community as an independent consultant, but with a legacy background, interest and, humbly, expertise in lipid based drug delivery that many of you will know, having championed the technology in my 13+ years with Capsugel through, among other initiatives, the Lipid Formulation Classification System. But since I have been somehow disconnected from the AAPS community of late, I would like to understand what the plans are for the upcoming PharmSci 360 meeting in Orlando: do we still hold meetings around the "Lipids Focus Group" as it used to be known?  If so, what is its structure?  Any feedback will be appreciated and, naturally happy to support any initiatives to get things going!

    Thanks!

    Eduardo Jule

    Dear Eduardo,

    Welcome back to the community. Like you, I was also actively involved with the AAPS Lipid Based Drug Delivery Focus Group. However, since the focus group was disbanded in 2017 and the new community was formed, I am somewhat lost what are the current programing and other activities of the community, who are its current leaders, and what are its future plans. The only activities I recall are one or two webinars during the Covid time, and I am not aware of whether there are any community programs for the Orlando meeting. I will appreciate it if someone from the current community leadership will apprise us of the current community activities and future plans. If I can be of any help to the community, I will try my best to get involved again.

    With best regards to all,

    Abu

    Hello @Eduardo Jule

    Thank you very much for your question about the community meetings during PharmSci 360.  The Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Community will be meeting on Tuesday, October 24 at 4:00 pm-5:00 pm ET in Orlando, Florida.  We will be adding all of the community meetings to the PharmSci 360 program in August and the program will have the specific meeting location details. 

    The community membership meetings are open to anyone who is interested in attending.  They provide you with an opportunity to meet the leadership, network with colleagues, and learn about the community's activities.

    I am tagging the community officers to provide more details about their plans for the meeting.  @Masumi Dave @Shaukat Ali 

    We are excited to see you in Orlando!

    Dear Eduardo and Abu

    As co-chair of the Community, we would welcome you both to join the Group. Your expertise in lipid drug delivery is definitely will help us plan for the future webinars and workshops.

    Dr. Masumi Dave is the chair and she can reach out to formally invite you both to our next meeting. As always, please feel free to reach out me as well.

    Best regards,

    Shaukat

    @Maria Nadeau @Shaukat Ali - thanks for the kind note, and for the warm welcome to the group! @Masumi Dave has indeed reached out to provide some more detail on upcoming activities and, like @Abu Serajuddin, I look forward to rekindling the spirit that has always advanced lipid based drug delivery, especially after the pandemic.  It is a shame that PharmSci 360 is scheduled on the same dates as CPhI Europe, as many of us will need to choose between these 2 key events for the industry.  I, for one, may not be able to attend, but again, wish to offer my time and support to see engagement - both in and outside the community - grow through not just recurrent, but also meaningful interactions.  From that perspective, are there any plans to meet (virtually, I presume) between now and October?
