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.
See you in London!
