Assistant Professor Dr. Khalid Kadhem Al-Kinani, Head of the Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Plants Department, represented our College and Iraq at one of the world’s leading conferences specialized in biopharmaceuticals, held in Basel, Switzerland, from September 30 to October 2, 2025, upon a direct invitation from the conference organizers.
Under the theme “Bridging Science and Medicines Policy,” Dr. Al-Kinani delivered an important scientific lecture addressing the vital link between advanced scientific discoveries and pharmaceutical policy-making that impacts patients’ lives worldwide.
He also chaired and moderated a high-level panel discussion focusing on the latest developments in biosimilar medicines, with particular emphasis on the requirements of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which mark a significant step forward in this rapidly evolving field.
This participation went beyond mere attendance — it reflected the pioneering role of the College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad, in contributing to global discussions that shape the future of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. It also demonstrated the capability of Iraqi scholars to compete internationally and make their voices heard in the world’s most prestigious scientific forums.
