The Early Drug Development Summit will be taking place on 3rd – 4th December 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The summit is the must attend event for all those looking to successfully shorten lengthy and arduous drug development timelines whilst bringing, safe and efficacious drugs to market faster.

The Early Drug Development Summit brings early stage drug developers together to discuss the strategies and tools to fully optimise the drug development trajectory in order to bring safe, effective and commercially viable drugs to market faster and achieving regulatory approval. The summit will be mainly focusing on reducing drug development trajectory and also covering early development.

This year’s speakers play a significant role in this particular stage of drug development:

•Dr Andy Parsons, VP Preclinical Development, GSK
•Ming Wang, Head of Metabolic Disorders, Amgen
•Peter Theil , Head Early Development PKPD, UCB
•Professor Jurgen Borlack, Head of Toxicology, Hannover University

•Maximising investments to reduce risks and costs in early development - Effectively managing early drug development pipelines - reducing risk and maximising success
•Using predictive modelling to screen and identify optimal compounds - Successfully reducing early development timelines to identify the best investments
•Applying predictive and simulation modelling for preclinical development - Using early phase data to analyse risks and screen compounds
•Using translational science to accelerate IND to clinical trials - Integrating translation science in early development to speed up drugs reaching clinical trials
•Using predictive pharmaceutical modelling to predict compound’s SAR - Using early phase data to predict parameters to identify new chemical entities (NCEs) with potential therapeutic value
