2026 PharmSci 360 Launches Two Innovator-Curated Tracks
Tracks Feature Sessions and Speakers Developed by Leading Scientific Experts
Arlington, VA—AAPS is excited to announce the launch of two Innovator-Curated tracks at the 2026 PharmSci 360. These tracks address the current state of scientific research integrity and disruptive technologies in drug development.
On Monday, October 26, Brian Nosek, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Open Science, inaugurates the first Innovator-Curated track focusing on ensuring credibility within peer-reviewed research. His track features six sessions that cover identifying problematic papers, ensuring citations are credible, and implementing ethical practices for using AI in research.
Then, on Wednesday, October 28, Thomas Hartung, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Environmental Health & Engineering, leads sessions that address new approaches to testing models. His sessions feature topics that explore AI applications, organ-on-a-chip models, and neural organoids.
“I am excited to see the launch of the Innovator-Curated Tracks at PharmSci 360. This initiative creates a unique opportunity to introduce emerging areas of pharmaceutical science, showcase visionary leaders, and spark new ideas that will shape the future of our field,” AAPS Scientific Advisory Committee Chair Dan Bow, Ph.D., said. “We believe these tracks will inspire collaboration, broaden perspectives, and help drive the next generation of scientific innovation.”
PharmSci 360 takes place October 25-28 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. To register for PharmSci 360, visit www.aaps.org/register.
