This unique international conference will provide a platform for all pharmaceutical scientists, internists and primary care physicians to discuss and learn about important international breakthrough developments in drug discovery and on new therapeutics. The focus of the conference will be on the interdisciplinary fields of drug discovery, drug therapy and translational medicine. A similar series of conferences have been held by the organizers in the UAE over the last several years. These events have been highly successful and many top international scientists, including over 22 Nobel Laureates, have presented their work.

Fungal, algal, and cyanobacterial toxins adversely affect the health of humans, animals, and the environment. The occurrence and toxicity of these mycotoxins and phycotoxins, which may be present in food, water, and air, is often impacted by multiple factors including environmental change and human activity. Given the ecological and societal importance of this field, exchange of ideas and collaboration among numerous disciplines (e.g., biology, analytical chemistry, toxicology, ecology, plant pathology, epidemiology, genomics/proteomics, meteorology, economics/trade, risk assessment/hazard management, and public health) is critical for assessing risks and developing sustainable management practices for these natural toxins.
