Targets in Context - Linking Targets to Diseases Preliminary Agenda

标靶之脉络-与疾病联结之标靶

August 4-6, 2009 · The World Trade Center Boston and Seaport Hotel · Boston, MA

Targets in Context - Linking Targets to Diseases
August 4-6, 2009
(August 4 pre-conference workshop*, August 6-5 main conference)

藉由新技术与成果来了解标靶生理学

这个会议主要指出如何藉由了解标靶生理学之脉络来说明标靶与疾病之关系,用以选择正确的标靶来促进药物之发展。会中亦将介绍如何利用已经证明或是新颖技术、成果、策略来确认标靶。另外,标靶在临床前期或是临床开发中之案例学习亦将被提出说明标靶的临床关联性和效力。

Why You Should Attend:

  • The ONE event that looks specifically at how companies are linking targets to disease more effectively, through the use of various innovative tools and ultimately showing proof-of-concept in the clinic
  • Learn about the effectiveness of the various tools and approaches, from genomics, proteomics, metabolomics to systems biology and RNAi, from in vivo and computational approaches to cell- and tissue-based screening methods.
  • Hear case studies of targets for oncology, diabetes and inflammation in the clinic
