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.

EFMC: 6th short course on medicinal chemistry.
Improving Compound Quality: Physical Chemistry and DMPK Properties in Drug Discovery.
October 21-24, 2012, Oegstgeest, The Netherlands
Registration Deadline: September 14, 2012
In modern drug discovery, it is important that the Medicinal Chemist understands how to balance potency and ADME properties in order to provide high quality compounds for progression to clinical studies.
This short course will be a mixture of talks and worked exercises designed to further the understanding of DMPK. The course will include: Outlines of the key DMPK in vitro assays: physicochemistry for ADME; Oral drug absorption; Fundamentals of drug distribution; drug metabolizing enzymes; drug transport proteins; basic PK principles and human PK prediction; PKPD relationships.
