Newswise — The University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy will host the 16th annual International Symposium on Microencapsulation at the Lexington Convention Center on Sept. 9-12.

Researchers from academic institutions in at least 15 countries, including Italy, Israel, Korea, China and the United Kingdom, will attend.
