The 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Drug Metabolism will focus on current and developing research increasing our understanding of the metabolism and disposition of drugs and xenobiotics.
This conference focuses on issues related to ocular drug delivery. It will entertain an integrated approach to discussing benchmarks in drug development, delivery platform technology and proof of concept models. Faculty and students from industry, the clinic and academe will be invited to present papers and posters. Abstract submissions will be reviewed and accepted for appropriate placement in the agenda.

The purpose of this four-day conference is to provide an educational forum to discuss the current issues in selecting potential new therapeutic entities for preclinical trials and current issues in drug metabolism and preclinical pharmacology.
The EACPT Summer School aims to improve the knowledge and skills of young colleagues interested in Clinical Pharmacology. A broad spectrum of topics will be offered by distinguished lecturers from various European countries. These topics will include an overview of all essential knowledge in Clinical pharmacology, and also more focused lectures on Pharmacogenomics and Clinical trials in South/Eastern Europe.
Disposables for Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing brings together the key players from across the industry to discuss the main barriers facing this market and ways to overcome them – procurement, supply chain management, scale-up, implementation, cost management, environmental risk and validation.

PKUK was a spin out from the DMDG (Drug Metabolism Discussion Group) in the early 80s. The original idea came from Roger Metcalf, who used to head up DMPK at SK&F. It was felt at the time that DMDG was not adequately addressing the issues related to PKPD problems in the pharmaceutical industry and there was a need for a more specialized meeting on PKPD.
This unique international conference provides a platform for all pharmaceutical scientists, internists and primary care physicians to discuss and learn about all the important international breakthrough developments on drug discovery and on new therapeutics.
The purpose of this meeting is to stimulate progress in the methods of computer-aided drug design. This will be accomplished by bringing theory and practice into contact at a number of levels in order to highlight interesting and important practical problems waiting to be solved, and by deepening participants’ understanding of the science underlying these challenges.

We are pleased to announce the third MD Users Meeting which will be held in Perugia, Italy, from the 25th to 28th of April, 2010. The main focus of the Meeting will be on the practical use of the MD Programs in real research applications, and participants will be able to work with the latest release of each Program. They will also have a unique opportunity to evaluate and try some of the novel software projects which are currently being developed by the scientists at Molecular Discovery.
Goals and Objectives
To provide participants with a clear understanding on how to develop strategies for assessment of TP-drug interactions.
Workshop objectives are to:
Background
Therapeutic proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and cytokine modulators, are increasingly being combined with small molecule drugs and/or other therapeutic proteins. Limited scientific and development experience is available in assessing the potential for PK and PD interactions of these TP-drug or TP-TP combination therapies. In this workshop, industry, academic and regulatory speakers will highlight important main themes that have started to emerge for considerations in drug interaction assessment for therapeutic proteins such as: molecule type, target, indication, and disease biology. Speakers will also discuss recent reports regarding the regulation of CYP450 enzymes and transporters in inflammatory states. The use of cytokine, cytokine modulators, and immunosuppressant-containing combinations in inflammatory indications may have potential for drug interactions, in particular when therapeutic proteins are combined with narrow therapeutic range drugs. This workshop will provide the opportunity for participants to interact with industry, academic and regulatory representatives and to participate in roundtable discussions on how to arrive at a science-driven, risk-based approach for assessing the potential for TP-drug interactions.

This conference is devoted to established topics such as advanced drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical biotechnology, micro- & nanotechnology, natural products, pharmacology and many more which will be dealt with in short oral and poster presentations. In addition, a Workshop on Pharmacy Practice and Education is going to be organized during this Meeting. As you know, education plays an extremely important role in preparing pharmacy students for several professional activities. It serves to ensure knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour required of pharmacists in order to contribute to communities and health systems in the best possible ways. Whether you’re a student pharmacist this Meeting will provides educational programming and networking to keep you on track in your day-to-day practice. This Meeting will give you the opportunity to generate novel ideas, practices, cultural diversity and practices, in order to promote positive changes in pharmacy education and for pharmacy to progress globally as a profession.
It is our pleasure to present the programme for the 16th World Congress of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, WorldPharma2010, to be held in Copenhagen 17-23 July 2010.
For this IUPHAR congress, basic and clinical pharmacology, kept separate for too long, have come together again for a remarriage to encompass the whole process of drug development from molecular biology to clinical practice. Here the World’s basic and clinical pharmacologists and all those dealing with the development and use of drugs will meet to discuss how we can work together to meet the need for safe and effective medicines at affordable prices.
As will be seen from the programme, WorldPharma2010 provides in depth treatment of the hottest topics in basic and clinical pharmacology, while at the same time offering the broad perspective of how drugs affect the living organism, which is the foundation of our subject.
The programme is based on 18 two- or three- day focused conferences with a slate of top-level speakers throughout. In addition the programme offers world-class plenary lectures, as well as a range of workshops and sponsored symposia. There is a wide range of possibilities for involvement of young investigators and investigators from developing countries including poster sessions and free communications.
The programme thus provides a unique opportunity for the World's pharmacologists to meet for what is promised to be a scientifically excellent programme as well as the opportunity to savour the atmosphere of Copenhagen.

These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops using latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists, life scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. Participants should return to their labs with new ideas, best practices and software experiences to maximise productivity in their own drug discovery research activities.
Workshop groups will study problems with hands-on examples using computational drug discovery methods and discuss issues highlighted by examples and Case Studies presented by instructors. A Case Study set with a focus on Kinases will be used to link all workshop activities throughout the week in which participants will work in small groups on their case study problems.
Software packages and an IT classroom will be used by instructors and participants to work through drug discovery and design problems. Participants may propose problems and issues to the faculty ahead of the workshop. Participants will also have ample opportunity to discuss their perspectives and criticisms of the methods studied and should take-away key nuggets of understanding from these intensive sessions.
