SPDS India

Society for Pharmaceutical Dissolution Science (SPDS)

SPDS was formed in 2012 with the objective of promoting science and technological developments in the ever-evolving area of dissolution. The Society has National and International stalwarts and experts from academia, industry, and regulatory as its members.

Its purpose is to disseminate knowledge about this technical field and to familiarize the advances in dissolution science among all pharma professionals.

SPDS is the only professional body dedicated to dissolution science and its applications.

Dissolution Research Presentations International (DRPI)

To meet with its objectives, SPDS has been organizing dissolution themed annual conferences, known as DISSO India. For the first time in 2020, owing to the pandemic, DISSO India was held online with plenary lectures from worldwide experts. The overwhelming success of DISSO India 2020 led to the organization of DISSO America 2020 Online, an event by SPDS US chapter co-sponsored by the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS).

As research presentations could not be included as a part of the DISSO India event, a special program ‘Dissolution Research Presentations India 2020 – Online (DRPI 2020 – Online)’ was held as a premier and pan India competition for young researchers across academia as well as industry. Besides being the first indigenous online research competition for pharma fraternity, a key highlight of the event was the joining of hands by SPDS with Association of Pharmaceutical Teachers of India (APTI), as collaborator for the competition. This was a unique platform for researchers from academia and industry to showcase novel dissolution related science, technology and applications. The competition was held among various zones of India, viz., North, East, West, South, & Central. Another key highlight of the event was the unbiased and totally anonymous evaluation process. In 2021 & 2022, DRPI was conducted online, wherein SPDS joined hands with
APTI & AAPS, and the same success story was repeated.

Now, in 2023, SPDS is pleased to announce the fourth DRPI event, and this time it is going to be an international competition between researchers from 5 different regions of the world. DRPI now is no longer Dissolution Research Presentations India, but Dissolution Research Presentations International. The DRPI 2023 competition will be held among the following five world regions:

India | US | Japan & South East Asia | Europe | Australia & New Zealand
