SMi proudly present their 12th annual Pain Therapeutics conference
|
Make sure you have the information necessary to face the mounting challenges in taking your novel pain therapeutics from development to registration
Pain is the most common reason patients seek medical care and has significant has sensory and emotional components.
Despite this advances in the way we manage pain has made few significant advancements and in recent years it has become harder and harder to get analgesics to market.
With the whole industry under financial pressure there is an economic imperative for companies to improve their research and development methods. In order to make sure that the drugs that are being put forward for clinical trials have the best chance of success.
At this Pain Therapeutics Conference 2012 you will hear from industry experts discussing the latest advances in drug development practice and analyzing recent case studies of where drugs in the clinical stages have succeeded and failed. As well as talking an in depth look at the recent work on current drug targets such as the TRPV family, the Canibanoid family and Nerve Growth Factor.
