Dear
Distinguished FABAD Members,
It
is a great honor for me to have been chosen as President
of FABAD for the 2004-2006 term. The coming years will no
doubt present new challenges as well as exciting opportunities
for the further advancement of the Association.
FABAD’s
Executive Committee consisted of the members below:
Prof.
Dr. Gülberk Uçar, President
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Selma Sahin, Co-President
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aylin Gürbay, General
Secretary
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hande Gürer Orhan,
Treasurer
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevgi Takka, Member
Asst. Prof. Dr. Betül Arica, Member
Inst. Dr.Yesim Özkan, Member
The
Executive Committee constituted the Editorial Board of the
FABAD Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and has appointed
Prof. Dr. Selma Saraç to serve as Editor, and Prof.
Dr. Ünsal Çalis and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Belma Giray
as Associate Editors.
At
this time I would like to acknowledge the valuable work
of the previous Executive Committees, all of which have
expended great efforts over the years to promote the best
interests of FABAD. I assure you that I will strive to continue
in their path, without changing the basic goals and aims
of the Association.
My
first objectives are to carry forward and expand the scientific
activities of FABAD, to facilitate an increase in FABAD’s
membership, and to work towards capacity building, drawing
upon the diverse expertise of our members and encouraging
them to increase their participation in more of the scientific
or non-scientific activities of the Association.
As
you are all aware, the main scientific undertaking of FABAD
is publication of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The Executive Committee is committed this term to not only
broadening the Journal’s readership, but also to ensuring
a continued increase in both Journal quality and scientific
content. In this regard, the Executive Committee is fully
confident that the newly appointed Editorial Board, under
the capable guidance of Prof. Dr. Saraç, will achieve
these aims. Other activities planned during the current
term include scientific workshops, such as on bioequivalency,
new approaches in patent registration, and research and
development studies in the pharmaceutical industry, etc.
I
am pleased to announce, as one of the first activities to
be realized this term, the creation of a new FABAD webpage,
which will no doubt positively advance many of FABAD’s
goals. Not only will it serve to raise awareness of our
Association and activities, planned online access to the
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences will undoubtedly increase
our readership. We anticipate launching of the website in
the near future and will make an announcement in this regard
in due course.
Again,
I extend my deepest appreciation to all FABAD members for
giving me this honor, and also commend the previous Executive
Committee for their significant achievements. I look forward
to personally meeting all members in the coming FABAD activities.
Kindest
regards,
