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.
This conference has gained an ever increasing impact among the pharmaceutical scientists. With close to 1000 submitted abstracts and more than 1300 participants a new record has been achieved in 2008 in Barcelona.
In 2010, special emphasis will be placed on industrial related topics. The meeting will help bridging the gap between fundamental academic research and industrial applications, offering the opportunity to initiate fruitful cooperation between university and industry.
From Tuesday to Thursday, two of the four parallel sessions will be provided by invited speakers from industry, academia and authorities on the following topics:
We invite you to come to the heart of the Mediterranean. Enjoy the conference in Malta’s beautiful capital Valletta with a mild climate and a fresh breeze.
The workshop will combine information about modern laboratory techniques to solve pharmaceutical problems and teaching about solid state characterization of pharmaceuticals. It will offer fundamental approaches as well as up-to-date technical information and future outlooks. Participants will have the opportunity to extensively network.

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.
Reduced forms of folic acid (vitamin B9) are essential to numerous bodily functions ranging from nucleotide biosynthesis to repair of DNA, methylatiion of DNA, conversion of homocysteine to methionine, and biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine. Not surprisingly, rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, have an elevated appetite for physiological folates, and therefore, may over-express proteins responsible for uptake of the vitamins. This conference will focus on the pathways of folate transport into cells and the use of these pathways to deliver drugs to cells that over-express the folate receptor or folate transporters.
