20TH HELSINKI DRUG RESEARCH CONGRESS

18 September 2011 - 20 September 2011

This conference presents an update of modern and emerging ADMET tools for drug discovery and delivery. Drug discovery and drug delivery are facing major challenges and these fields are in rapid transition. FDA and EMEA have addressed the need for predictive tools that reduce the attrition rate of the drug candidates in the clinical phases. Such tools are critical in the selection of the lead compounds with proper ADMET and other features, while new drug delivery systems are essential in improving the ADME features of gene medicines, anti-cancer drugs, drugs acting on the CNS and retina. Nanotechnology will provide new opportunities for tool development in drug delivery and ADMET research. The new and emerging methods are expected to augment the discovery and development of new drugs and drug delivery systems.
