Pharmaron at the 51st DMDG Open Meeting: Shaping the Future of DMPK

Capabilities
We had a brilliant time joining fellow industry leaders at the DMDG Open Meeting 2025 in Cambridge, a key event for anyone passionate about drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK). The atmosphere was buzzing with energy as we took part in engaging sessions, lively debates, and shared some of our latest scientific insights—from tried-and-true methods to exciting new trends.
Key Highlights of the DMDG Open Meeting 2025:
- Expert Contributions & Debate Panels
- Lerryn Hilton from Pharmaron joined a fascinating discussion on the impact of social media vs. peer-reviewed publications in shaping the future of drug discovery. It sparked some great conversations!.
- Poster Presentations
- Our team proudly presented several posters, with contributions from Lerryn Hilton, Simon Taylor, and Jia Jia. Topics ranged from advanced imaging techniques to key findings in ADME. There was a lot of great science on display from Pharmaron and all across the industry.
- Partnerships & Networking
- The meeting was a fantastic opportunity to connect, whether through scheduled one-on-ones or spontaneous chats over coffee.

What We Took Away:
- The Power of Scientific Gatherings
- Bringing together DMPK professionals helps shape the future of early-stage metabolism, biotransformation, and regulatory strategies.
- New Ways to Share Science
- Debates around digital communication reminded us that science isn’t just in journals anymore, social platforms are playing a growing role in how we exchange ideas.
- Posters That Drive Progress
- Our poster sessions highlighted Pharmaron’s commitment to translational DMPK, bridging the gap between innovation and real-world application.
- Building Stronger Connections
- From formal meetings to casual conversations, we left with new ideas and stronger relationships that will fuel future breakthroughs.

A Word from Our Team:
Scientist 2 DMPK at Pharmaron UK, DMDG Apprentice Committee Member
“This year’s DMDG Open meeting was such a joy! It was a pleasure to co-chair the Early Careers session as the DMDG Industrial Apprentice, and as always, the talent and tenacity our early careers presenters showed was so inspiring. It was an honour to take part in the annual debate and even more so to have my groups poster on plasma protein binding for highly bound compounds voted as the best Early Careers Poster. I am already looking forward to 2026.”
