Appointment of New Board Members

The APS are pleased to announce the appointment of our new Board Members. We received many applications and would like to thank everyone for their interest in joining the APS Board.

We would like to congratulate Sara Caetano Cordeiro and Kieran Sproston who will join the APS as Board Members from January 2024.

Ana Sara Cordeiro is a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the School of Pharmacy at De Montfort University (Leicester, UK). Following a PharmD from the University of Porto (Portugal) and a PhD in Drug Research and Development from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain!, she worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast (Belfast, UK). Throughout these years, Sara has developed a background in pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, nanomedicine, vaccine delivery and microneedles for transdermal drug delivery and diagnostics.

Currently, she is establishing her independent research group (3Ds- Drug Delivery and Diagnostics) with a focus on improving and facilitating patients’ lives through the development of drug and vaccine delivery systems that are easy to manufacture and scale-up, highly efficient and administered through non-invasive routes. Sara is also the current Editor-in-Chief of the Controlled Release Society (CRS) Newsletter, and e media lead for the CRS Women in Science group.

Kieran Sproston is a Formulation Scientist working at Pfizer in Drug Product Development to support development of the formulation and manufacturing processes for solid oral dosage forms. He has experience working on tablet, capsule, and oral suspensions and with both continuous and batch processes. He is a registered Pharmacist who graduated from the University of Manchester and completed his training year split between Paydens community pharmacy and Pfizer. Kieran is passionate about supporting the next generation of scientists and is currently the co-leader of the APS New Scientists Focus Group

“We are very much looking forward to working with Sarah and Kieran. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Begoña Delgado-Charro and Jo Craig for their enthusiasm and hard work whilst they were on the APS Board. Whilst Jo transitions to the SAB, we wish Begoña all the very best for her new adventure.”

Ryan Donnelly, APS Chair.
