Phospholipid Satellite Symposium
Phospholipid Satellite Symposium, Odense, Denmark | 16-17 June 2026
The Satellite Symposium on Phospholipids is a focused scientific meeting dedicated to the role of phospholipids in pharmaceutical research, drug delivery, and lipid-based therapeutic technologies. The symposium takes place in Odense, Denmark, in connection with the NordicPharmaTrain Annual Meeting 2026, which will be held at the University of Southern Denmark from 15–16 June 2026.
The satellite symposium provides a specialized forum for scientists interested in phospholipid science, lipid-based drug delivery systems, and pharmaceutical formulation technologies. While closely connected to the broader NordicPharmaTrain meeting, the satellite event concentrates specifically on phospholipids as functional components in modern pharmaceutical development.
Researchers working in drug delivery, lipid science, pharmaceutical excipients, nanomedicine, and formulation development are invited to participate in this focused scientific program.
About the Satellite Symposium
Phospholipids play a central role in many pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery technologies, including lipid-based carriers, liposomes, and advanced nano-medicine systems. Their bio-compatibility and functional versatility make them essential components in a wide range of therapeutic strategies.
By bringing together experts from academia and industry, the symposium encourages scientific exchange and interdisciplinary discussion on lipid-based pharmaceutical technologies and their future development.
Scientific Program
The Satellite Symposium on Phospholipids will begin on the evening of 16 June 2026 with an invited evening lecture by Prof. Olivia Merkel: "Reimagining Phospholipids for RNA Therapeutics: Biomimicry to Machine Learning".
The scientific program will continue on 17 June 2026 with three thematic sessions dedicated to current topics in phospholipid research:
- Phospholipids in parenteral delivery
- Oral drug delivery using phospholipids
- Topical applications of phospholipids
For further information, please check the satellite website.
Speakers
The Satellite Symposium on Phospholipids will feature invited speakers and scientific presentations addressing current research in phospholipid science and pharmaceutical lipid technologies:
- Olivia Merkel (Munich): Reimagining Phospholipids for RNA Therapeutics: Biomimicry to Machine Learning
- Jens Bæk Simonsen (Virum): Lipid nanoparticle engineering to improve LNP therapeutic efficacy
- Paulina Skupin-Mrugalska (Poznan): Melt-extruded amorphous solid dispersions based on phospholipids
- Natasa Skalko Basnet (Tromsø): Liposomes in localized drug therapy
Relation to the NordicPharmaTrain Annual Meeting
The NordicPharmaTrain Annual Meeting 2026 represents the main conference event and brings together researchers from across the Nordic pharmaceutical science community. The meeting addresses a broad range of topics including drug delivery, pharmaceutical technologies, manufacturing, and translational medicine.
The Satellite Symposium on Phospholipids complements this broader program by providing a topic-focused scientific extension dedicated specifically to phospholipid science and lipid-based pharmaceutical research.
While participants of the NordicPharmaTrain meeting are encouraged to attend the satellite symposium, the satellite event should be understood as a distinct scientific forum with a specialized thematic focus.

Location
The symposium will take place in Odense, Denmark, following the NordicPharmaTrain Annual Meeting 2026 hosted at the University of Southern Denmark.
Odense provides a central location within the Nordic region and serves as a meeting point for researchers working in pharmaceutical sciences, drug delivery, and lipid-based therapeutic technologies.
