The conference at the Medical Sciences Training Centre, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK, on 5th–6th January 2012, aims to bring together those concerned about drug discovery (academia, industry, biotech, funders, charities, patient groups) to honestly and openly debate the bottlenecks hindering innovation and real tangible results, as perceived by these communities.
Why attend?
The conference will consist of six different discussion panels, each composed by three Panellists and two Chairs. The short talks by the Panellists will be followed by critical and direct questioning by the Chairs, who will also encourage participation from the audience. The programme includes Chairs and Panellists from prestigious institutions, including GSK, University of Oxford, Novartis, Takeda, Merck, MedImmune, Institute of Cancer Research, Pfizer, University of Dundee, Cancer Research UK, AstraZeneca, Royal Society of Chemistry, Bayer Healthcare, among others.
They will be focusing on how can the academia, biotechs, charities/foundations and the industry complement each other and drive drug discovery forward through constructive restructuring of the relationships between the participants.
