The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) is a professional, scientific society of almost 13,000 members employed in industry, academia, government and other research institutes worldwide. Founded in 1986, AAPS provides a dynamic international forum for the exchange of knowledge among scientists to enhance their contributions to public health. AAPS offers timely scientific programs, on-going education, information resources, opportunities for networking, and professional development. This workshop is co-sponsored with the International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX) and the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Scientists (EUFEPS).
WHAT:
In partnership with ISSX and EUFEPS, AAPS is pleased to present the workshop on Drug Transporters in ADME: From the Bench to the Bedside.Key areas of focus will include new, state-of-the-art models for investigation of drug transporters and application of these models to address basic research questions, applications of pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation with drug transporter data, as well as the role of drug transporters in the areas of toxicology and disease.
WHY:
This workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between pharmaceutical scientists from academia, industry and government on the state-of-the-art techniques to study drug transport and uptake, enhance knowledge about mechanisms of drug transport, and provide an opportunity to learn of the cutting-edge science in this area through seminars with invited speakers and focused breakout sessions.
WHEN:
March 29 - April 1, 2009
