The meeting brought together researchers from across Australia and beyond to share the latest advances in biomaterials, nanomedicine, and RNA and nucleotide delivery. The program featured plenaries from Maria Kavallaris AM and Zhen Gu, and keynotes by Juliana Hamzah, Clive Prestidge, Kristian Kempe, Anupama Mittal, Pall Thordarson, and Ben Boyd.

It was a pleasure for our group to help organise this exciting event under the leadership of Tushar Kumeria, together with Andrew Care, Lifeng Kang, Zi Sophia Gu, and Vipul Agarwal. A big thank you to the organising committee and all volunteers for making it such a smooth and engaging experience.

We enjoyed catching up with friends, collaborators, and students across two inspiring days of talks, posters, and discussions. Congratulations to all presenters, award winners, and to Khay Fong, elected as the new President of the Australian Chapter of the Controlled Release Society (AUSCRS).

We’re already looking forward to DDA2026 in Brisbane, hosted by Amirali Popat and team!
