The University at Buffalo Pharmaceutics Symposium originated in 1980, and is now held every four years.
"The symposium affords us the opportunity to invite our alumni back to the school to reconnect and to learn about their current research,” said Donald Mager, professor, pharmaceutical sciences, and organizer of the 2010, 2014 and 2018 symposia. “Many of our alumni attending have gone on to highly successful careers in their field, having become leaders in pharmaceutical research. This alumni-focused event greatly benefits our up and coming students, to inspire as well as to inform.”
“The Buffalo Pharmaceutics Symposium has been a long tradition for our department in assembling faculty, students and alumni for scientific lectures and social events around Buffalo,” says William J. Jusko, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, chair of the 2023 symposium. “Our 2023 BPS was incredible with outstanding presentations by many prominent alumni who lead various pharmaceutical companies, universities and the Food & Drug Administration."
