Drug Discovery Re-Invented; Emerging Role of Biotechs, Academics and Non-Profits (DDRI) 2013- Valutrics
Drug Discovery Re-Invented; Emerging Role of Biotechs, Academics and Non-Profits (DDRI)
Oct 16-19, 2013
Venue: Hilton Scottsdale Resort & Villas
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
The conference will center on new approaches to drug discovery in an industry where the landscape is changing rapidly. With large pharma reducing investment in internal early stage research, drug pipelines will increasingly be filled by alternative sources. These players include: government, academic labs, non-profits, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical “open innovation” models. The conference will also provide examples of successful strategies for advancing new drug candidates in this era of distributed discovery.
Key Sessions include:
1. Discovery Re-Invented
2. Novel Pharma Approaches
3. Collaborative Drug Discovery
4. Natural Products
5. Structure, Modelling and Informatics
6. Biologics and Non-traditional Therapeutics
7. Discovery Technologies
This conference is designed to attract the following attendees: medicinal, computational, and synthetic organic chemists; structural and screening biologists; research management and entrepreneurs; industrial and academic scientists.
