Upcoming Conference
03-08-2009 14:26 | 2009 GOLDEN HELIX Symposium “Pharmacogenomics: Paving the path to personalized medicine”
Pharmacogenomics is gaining momentum in modern medical practice. Recognizing the challenges that currently emerge for molecular medicine in the post-genomic era, the GOLDEN HELIX Symposium on Pharmacogenomics includes lectures by more than 20 international leading scientists in the field and covers all aspects of this exciting new field, including warfarin, cancer pharmacogenomics, pharmacogenomics on neuropsychiatric (e.g. epilepsy, schizophrenia) and other disorders (e.g. blood diseases, cardiovascular and connective tissue disorders), adverse effects, databases, etc.
Location: Athens, Greece
Date of conference: October 15th-17th, 2009

Drug safety continues to be an enduring problem for both the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare systems. Prevention of adverse reactions for drugs on the market would be highly beneficial for patients, governments and drug manufacturers. Moreover, safety issues play an important role in drug development. Knowing which genes or which drug characteristics that play a role in, for example, drug induced liver injuries or cardiotoxicity will be of utmost importance in compound selection for the drug development process. Studying the pharmacogenetic background of adverse drug reactions would require a “biobank” of a large number of samples. The patient population needed will never be found in one European country. Without doubt, extended collaboration will be a prerequisite and of utmost importance for establishment of a European Drug Safety Biobank. The aim of this Conference is to share visions from both academia and industry on biobanking and pharmacogenetics research, including on collaboration needed, as well as to present and discuss initiatives on future biobanking in pharmacogenetics.
Location: The Conference will be held at GlaxoSmithKline, UK, Stockley Park West, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB11 1BT, United Kingdom. The Conference Room is in Building 10.
Date of conference: Thursday – Friday, April 23 – 24, 2009, Stockley Park (London), United Kingdom
