Companion Diagnostics: from Early Drug Discovery to Clinical Application
01 May 2012
With recent heightened regulatory approval pressure, there needs to be a practical method available to demonstrate the effective performance of a treatment. In response, Companion Diagnostics are playing an increasingly critical role in the development of new therapeutic agents. As a result, research into key diagnostic technologies has become a hot topic, especially areas such as biomarkers, assay development and detection techniques. This has naturally led to the need to conduct diagnostic research in parallel with the early stages of drug discovery. This conference will highlight state-of-the-art scientific research and technologies, enabling the provision of tools for the development of Companion Diagnostics.

7th Protein Kinases in Drug Discovery Conference
30 May 2012 - 31 May 2012
Despite the hundreds of kinase inhibitors currently in discovery and pre-clinical phases, the number of kinase inhibitors which have been approved and are on the market remains low by comparison. This discrepancy reflects the challenges which accompany the development of ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors, including low specificity and off-target binding. There is also the problem of gatekeeper-associated drug resistance. To remain competitive in the kinase field, it will require you to stay abreast with recent development trends and technological advancements aimed at circumventing these issues. We will also provide you with a broad overview of the role kinases play in various types of cancer as well as introduce you to several novel kinases and inhibitor candidates.
