Applications toward Drug Discovery and Development

17th to 19th February 2012

SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVES

The main goals of the Symposium are to

·         Provide a better understanding of the role that drug metabo-lism, drug transporters, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacody-namics play in the drug discovery/development process.

·         Evaluate new and current techniques and models associ-ated with drug metabolism and drug transporters, as well as development of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models.

·         Gain insights into the issues encountered during the drug discovery process and the interface between discovery and clinical development.

·         Identify processes for reducing the attrition of drug candi-dates through a better understanding of metabolism and in vitro and in vivo correlations.

This is primarily a lecture-based symposium intended for stu-dents and scientists from industry, academia, health-based government organizations, and healthcare professionals with a background in chemistry, biology, or the pharmaceutical sci-ences, with some experience in the principles and techniques of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. The symposium is also intended for experienced researchers in these areas who wish to broaden or supplement their area of expertise, as well as contribute to the discussion topics.

SCIENTIFIC PRESENTATION:

The oral presentations will be through invited lectures.

For poster presentations, a poster board will be provided to interested participants. The size of the poster board is 48 (height) x 32 (width) inches.

Interested candidates should sent a one page abstract (A4 size) containing title (Arial bold 11 font), address (Roman Times 11 font), followed by the text of the abstract (Roman Times 11 font)to the Coordinator. A soft copy needs to be submitted via e-mail: dmpk2012@niper.ac.in. LCD projector will be provided for lecture presentations.
