Biosimilars and Biobetters

30 September 2015 - 01 October 2015

With Europe leading the way in the field of Biosimilar development, it is important to get to grips with all areas in the product lifecycle from early stage developments, protein characterisation and analytical comparability to patent litigation, market access, pricing and reimbursement through to emerging markets and global developments. Every angle should be considered and taken account for through the development process and with the EU the most advanced market for biosimilars, accounting for 80% of global spending on these molecules, the learning curve for biosimilars is essentially still building and there are hurdles to overcome.

Biotherapeutics - Innovative Future Medicine

08 October 2015

In the last decades, biotherapeutics have become a valuable and integral part of modern medicine to treat severe diseases such as cancer, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The first use of biotechnological methods was for the production of insulin. Since then many biotherapeutic medicines have been developed for the treatment of severe diseases such as cancer and many autoimmune diseases and multiple rare diseases. Biotherapeutics are especially attractive due to their highly targeted and specific nature and their relatively low safety risk. This one day meeting will focus on the recent progress made in the fast moving field of biotherapeutics. Experts from academia and industry will highlight the latest development in this exciting area of research.

COPD 2015

19 October 2015 - 20 October 2015

Now in its 7th year, COPD 2015 will gather a global audience of respiratory experts and scientific pioneers to discuss the latest developments in combinational therapies, new drugs and personalised treatment as well as the challenges of clinical trials. Join us as we ask questions such as: How does one reliably recruit and run clinical trials in a disease that branches to such extremes? What is the correct phenotype to measure in the disease? With the majority of COPD patients on varying courses of polypharmacy due to a range of different debilitating diseases alongside COPD – how can one find a clean patient? Plus much more!

APS Stimulating antimicrobial innovation

22 October 2015

Background to the Meeting: The pipeline of new antimicrobial agents is critically stagnant with most major pharma players having limited activity in the antibiotics arena over the past three decades. This meeting aims to capture the cutting edge of the antimicrobial innovation in the UK, to understand the barriers to antibiotic discovery, examine innovation ‘hotspots’ in the UK and highlight developments in the current funding landscape for antibiotics discovery and innovation. The purpose and aims of the APSGB Microbiology and Anti-Infectives Focus Group is to provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of microbiology and anti-infectives research and development in the pharmaceutical industry and academia, to underpin the importance of microbiology to the pharmaceutical sciences and innovation, and to provide continuing education, resources and a voice for pharmaceutical scientists in the challenging area of antimicrobials development.
