Conferences in Dubai 2014. Discount for SCS Members
In February 2014 four conferences in the field of drug discovey and medicinal chemistry take place in Dubai. As an SCS member you profit from a 10% discount on the registration fee. Please refer to this message and your status as an SCS member when registering.
It is our great pleasure to announce the latest editions of our very successful series of conferences; the “6th International Conference on Drug Discovery and Therapy” and the “3rd Biotechnology World Congress” in Dubai UAE. This time there will be two new events taking place in parallel to these conferences, namely the “1st Global Cardiovascular Translational Medicine Conference” and the “1st Global Diabetes and Obesity Translational Medicine Conference” with Dr. Ferid Murad, Nobel Laureate and Prof. Atta-ur-Rahman, FRS as the conferences Co-Presidents. These events are being organized in collaboration with the Higher Colleges of Technology, UAE. The dates of the four events are given below:
- 6th International Conference on Drug Discovery and Therapy
February 10th - 12th, 2014 - 3rd Biotechnology World Congress
February 10th - 12th, 2014 - 1st Global Cardiovascular Translational Medicine Conference
February 12th - 13th, 2014 - 1st Global Diabetes and Obesity Translational Medicine Conference
February 12th - 13th, 2014
These events will be unique in promoting the translational nature of modern biomedical, biotech and pharmaceutical research, with both scientists and clinicians associated with scientific and medical research and application, attending. The conferences will not only feature recent findings from leading industrial, clinical and academic experts in the field, in the form of lectures and posters but are also aimed to provide a platform to all the leading clinicians.
Sincerely yours,
