Do you want to improve efficiency and innovation in your drug discovery and lead optimisation?
The discovery of drugs that are novel and useful, but also safe, is becoming increasingly challenging. At MedChem USA 2007, you will keep up to date with the latest developments in this dynamic field and learn directly from top international experts, individually selected by our organising committee. You will hear detailed presentations and case studies discussing new and innovative approaches to drug design and solving ADME issues.
Following last year’s successful session focusing on hERG, we are delighted to announce that the subject of this year’s ‘hot topic’ will be Diabetes. It is estimated that 240 million people are currently living with diabetes worldwide and huge growth in this number is expected in the coming years. There will be a half-day session devoted to this exciting topic, chaired by Dr Martin Procter (Prosidion) and featuring key experts in the field.
You will have plenty of opportunities to meet and network with speakers and delegates so that together you can share solutions to common problems and explore the different strategies and tactics that are evolving to meet today’s therapeutic challenges.
Plus, we provide you with a full set of colour proceedings – a key future resource, allowing you to refer back to the speakers’ presentations back in the workplace.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to keep abreast of cutting-edge medicinal chemistry developments.
Why focus on Diabetes?
Diabetes is a silent killer that kills one person every 10 seconds. It is a global problem with devastating human, social and economic impact. Today more than 240 million people worldwide are living with diabetes and by 2025, this total is expected to increase to over 380 million people. Diabetes is a growing epidemic threatening to overwhelm global healthcare services, wipe out some indigenous populations and undermine economies worldwide, especially in developing countries.
Each year more than 3.8 million people die from diabetes-related causes. This silent epidemic claims as many lives annually as HIV/AIDS. Therefore, it is essential for medicinal chemists to think about new ways of tackling this massive problem!
