Reduce attrition and enhance efficacy screening with the latest models, tools and technologies in predictive toxicology

The cost of discovering and developing a drug now is currently tipped at approximately $900 million, resulting in continually growing pressure to avoid late stage drug attrition and its associated costs.

One of the most useful tools in the pharmaceutical R&D metaphorical ‘toolbox’ is predictive toxicology. By accurately predicting the toxicological effect or even the efficacy of a drug or a specific compound, steps can be taken to either improve the drug or identify the root cause of the issue, thereby preventing the significantly more costly discovery of these effects while in clinical trials.

It is clear that this pressure translates into a need to take these strategic decisions as early in drug discovery as possible, and to ensure the accuracy of predictions by using the latest and greatest models, assays and technologies available. In light of this, the 4th Annual Predictive Toxicology Summit 2012 will explore the most cutting edge techniques, technologies and strategies to enable you to confidently predict drug toxicity. Also, for the first time ever, your pass this year will also grant you entry into the co-located inaugural Stem Cell Summit 2012, covering novel and innovative stem cell therapies, regenerative medicine and of course the practical application of stem cell models in toxicological and efficacy screening.

Hear from 23+ industry experts to help you:

  • Enhance prediction capabilities and in turn improve your safety assessment approach with practical lessons on genetic, cardiac and hepatic toxicity testing; insights from AstraZeneca, Bayer, UCB and Lundbeck
  • Boost accuracy and reduce late stage drug attrition by capitalising on new technology and techniques including incorporating stem cell models and high content analysis. Exclusive presentations from Pfizer, AstraZeneca, GSK, ReNeuron and Progenitor Labs
  • Learn from and benchmark against leading industry case studies on in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical models from Novartis, AstraZeneca and Ferrer Pharmaceuticals
  • Accelerate your drug discovery and development and ultimately reduce development cost with a top-down strategic assessment of early discovery drug safety; expert take-home messages from the Drug Safety Executive Council (DSEC) interactive panel discussion
  • Modify your interpretations and ultimately ensure compliance by drawing conclusions from the latest research and thinking from the FDA and the EMA’s Committee for Advanced Therapeutics (CAT)

See you in London!
