Events & Training for April 2011

Keystone Symposia: Drugs from Bugs: The Anti-Inflammatory Drugs of Tomorrow

03 April 2011 - 07 April 2011

Joint with Evolving Approaches to Early-Stage Drug Discovery This meeting will bring together cross-disciplinary scientists to examine the growing opportunities for discovery of novel drugs from pathogens. Novel therapeutic strategies and new drugs can be developed by both understanding how pathogens modulate and usurp the immune system, and also by identifying the functional molecules from pathogens.

Keystone Symposia: Evolving Approaches to Early-Stage Drug Discovery

03 April 2011 - 07 April 2011

Joint with Drugs from Bugs: The Anti-Inflammatory Drugs of Tomorrow This meeting will cover multiple challenges and opportunities facing drug discovery scientists, including diverse approaches to early-stage discovery in a resource-constrained environment, evolution of preclinical drug discovery in academia, evolution of drug leads/target validation from the NIH (MLPCN), funding early-stage/risky programs, external licensing of programs, and advances in biomarkers/imaging to enable target selection and rapid go/no go decisions.

At Arrowhead’s 2011 Personalized Medicine Partnerships Conference, we will highlight key issues in forming partnerships and engage the best speakers to share their experiences with you. These key issues include: • what pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies are looking for in a partner • partnering challenges that arise within the realm of contractual negotiations, IP protection, regulatory affairs and commercialization • benefits of partnerships, including more effective, efficient and safer clinical trials • how and when to start a relationship, ie. discovery, clinical, post-commercialization? • the risks of partnering
