Microneedles 2020 : The 6th International Conference in Microneedles

Microneedles 2020 Chair’s Welcome

We invite you to join us in Seoul, Korea, for the Microneedles 2020 Conference, to be held in the Lotte World Tower from November 9 through November 12.

The Microneedles 2020 Conference is the 6th meeting since the conferences began in 2008. The 2020 meeting will feature in-depth discussions and presentations on overcoming the concerns about microneedles and moving toward commercialization.

Representatives from regulatory groups, vaccine manufacturers, and international health organizations, as well as experts on drug delivery, immunology, microfabrication, material science, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, electronics, microneedle development, sensors, and consumer and veterinary sciences will participate in the meeting.

Programs will be provided about a variety of areas, including immunization, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, regulation, mass production, manufacturing methods, skin engineering, and clinical and non-clinical research on microneedles.

During the four-day conference, vaccine experts and microneedle specialists will make plenary presentations. Educational programs about microneedles will be provided and a “Meet the CTO (Chief Technology Officer)” session also will be presented to discuss issues involved in the commercial development of microneedles.

The Lotte World Tower in which the conference will be held is located in the center of Seoul. It is the tallest building in Korea and sixth tallest building in the world. The beautiful tower resembles the shape of a microneedle, so it is a most appropriate place to hold the Microneedles 2020 Conference. It is also the best location to visit the many attractions of Seoul. We hope you will feel the beauty of Seoul and the infinite potential of microneedles through your visit to Microneedles 2020.
