About

Liposome Research Days (LRD) conferences focus on the science and application of lipid-containing structures, from basic studies on such topics as the physicochemical properties of liposomes, to clinical applications of drug delivery systems.

Attendees come from all over the world, in particular from Canada, China, England, Germany, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands and the United States, and they range in expertise from junior students to the original founders of the field.

Those who attend the 2021 LRD conference will hear presentations from the cutting edge of lipid research, about both ongoing research and future perspectives.

HISTORY

The first LRD conference was held in 1990 at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Its founding organizer was Dr. Hans Schreier.

LRD conferences have since been held in Leiden, The Netherlands (1992); Vancouver, British Columbia (1994); Freiburg, Germany (1995); Shizuoka, Japan (1996); Lez Embiez, France (1998); San Francisco, California (2000); Yokohama, Japan (2008); Hangzhou, China (2012); Copenhagen, Denmark (2014); Athens, Greece (2017); and Sapporo, Japan (2019).
