Assays & Cellular Targets

分析、筛选(screening)、以及标靶相关最具信赖信之活动！

ACT 2008将焦点置于分析、筛选之进歩、GPCR、蛋白激脢(protein kinase)、离子通道(ion channel)药剂标靶等，最新且最具潜力之研究主题，参加本会议将有机会与世界知名学者进行交流，共同分享尖端知识等，是一个前所未见之国际性活动。

本会议包含以下四个主题

离子通道标靶(Ion Channel)	G蛋白连接接受器(G Protein-Coupled Receptor)
蛋白激脢标靶(Protein Kinase Targets)	分析及筛选之进歩(Assay & Screening Advances)

在这3日的会议期间，邀请来自产业界及学术界之知名研究学者，进行75场次以上之研究发表，此外，更将有机会与超过200名之同业专家，进行交流，建构良好关系。

Opening Keynotes:

	The Challenges of Ion Channel Drug Discovery - Case Studies Greg Kaczorowski, Ph.D., Senior Director, Ion Channel Department, Merck Research Laboratories
	G-Protein Coupled Receptors in 2008: Rethinking What We Thought We Knew Paul A. Insel, M.D., Professor of Pharmacology & Medicine, Director, Medical Scientist Training Program, University of California, San Diego
