ESDPPP – European Society for Developmental Perinatal and Paediatric Pharmacology

ESDPPP is a voluntary, non-profit association representing the interests of paediatric pharmacologists around the world.

COVID-19

IUPHAR is responding to the current crisis by coordinating pharmacological resources worldwide. Although most of the current research is done in adults, we believe in part it may be relevant for pediatric pharmacologists as well.

Paediatric Pharmacology

Based in Leuven, Belgium, ESDPPP promotes research in developmental perinatal and paediatric pharmacology and offers a forum for dialogue between pharmacologists, clinicians, and scientists interested in the effect of medicines on the developing fetus, infant, and child.

25 years of ESDPPP

The ESDPPP celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013. This milestone provides an important opportunity to celebrate ESDPPP’s achievements to date and to describe our future aspirations and ambitions on behalf of millions of paediatric patients worldwide.

Our aim

We aim to improve medicines for children and advance research and global access to paediatric medicines. We also advocate politically for the continued development of safe, evidence-based medications for children. In this respect, ESDPPP works closely with European Medicines Agency (EMA), International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Congresses

Meeting our collegues is very important for our society. We enjoyed a wonderful congress in Basel, Switzerland, in 2019 and are looking forward to our next congress, which will be held in Liverpool (2021). We are welcoming your ideas and suggestions for these events.
