‘A highly focused meeting on current problems and issues with a good selection of speakers’ Cédric Merlot, Cheminformatics Scientist, Scientific Computing, Merck Serono Delegate at SMi’s In Silico ADMET conference 2007
How a drug interacts with the biology of a living organism can be extremely complex. Predicting the likely behaviour of a drug early in the development process is crucial if the resources put into developing a drug candidate are to be justified. Under the current research and development budgets, effectively and accurately predicting a drug’s behaviour has never been more vital. SMi’s 3rd annual ADMET conference will update you with the very latest modelling systems, technologies and knowledge, helping you provide an increasingly accurate picture of ADME properties, drug-drug interactions and toxicity throughout your studies. This Conference gathers experts in the prediction of human metabolic fate, pharmacokinetics and toxicity of drug candidates, covering in silico, in vitro and in vivo approaches. It is an important event for everyone in the field of drug discovery.
Critical challenges that will be addressed: - UNDERSTAND current in vivo and in vitro strategies
- EVALUATE the most viable methods, models and systems currently in use
- DISCUSS the integration and development of different systems for predicting both ADME and toxicity
- ASSESS the potential for more advanced high-throughput and in silico approaches
- IDENTIFY how resulting data can be handled and analysed
Exclusive presentations from industry experts including:
- Marcel de Groot, Senior Principal Scientist, Chemistry, Pfizer
- Vijay Gombar, Research Advisor, Drug Disposition – Computational ADME, Eli Lilly
