Announcing the 2027 UK Pharmaceutical Forum: 21–22 April

We’re excited to announce the 2027 UK Pharmaceutical Forum, taking place on 21–22 April 2027 in Malvern, UK. And for the first time, we’re bringing the forum to our home turf, with the opportunity to go behind the scenes and explore our laboratories.

Join us for two days of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical science, application insights and conversations around the analytical challenges shaping drug discovery, formulation development and characterisation.

Why the Pharmaceutical Forum?

Developing effective medicines requires a detailed understanding of the materials behind them. From the solid-state properties of small-molecule drugs to the stability and behaviour of complex biologics, analytical characterisation plays a critical role in making informed decisions throughout development.

Whether you’re investigating polymorphism and crystallinity, optimising particle size and formulation performance, or characterising proteins and lipid nanoparticles, the right analytical insights can help you better understand your materials and move development forward with confidence.

The Pharmaceutical Forum brings these challenges into focus, connecting scientists with analytical expertise, technologies and applications relevant to their work.

What’s in store for 2027?

We’re developing a programme focused on the science, applications and challenges that matter to pharmaceutical and biotech teams.

Here’s a taste of what we’re planning:

• Small-molecule characterization
  Explore solid-state properties, density, crystallinity, polymorphism and particle characterisation (size, shape, surface area) to support formulation development and product performance.
  
• Biopharmaceutical characterization
  Investigate protein size, stability, aggregation and molecular interactions to support biologics development.
  
• Lipid nanoparticles and advanced drug delivery
  Discover how analytical characterisation can help teams understand particle properties and support formulation and process development.
  
• Formulation and process development
  Explore how complementary analytical techniques can provide insight into the physical properties (porosity) and flow behaviour of pharmaceutical materials.
  
• Go behind the scenes
  Join us for tours of our labs, offering a closer look at our analytical technologies and their practical applications.

We’ll share more about the programme, speakers and sessions as plans take shape.
