abstract: The expiration of patents on therapeutic biological products raises major technological and policy questions about potential "generic" quivalents – so-called biosimilar or follow-on biologics. While there may be great opportunities for manufacturers and professionals in the biosimilars field, parallel concerns regarding manufacturing, clinical trials, economics, intellectual property, analytical methods, safety and efficacy arise. T he UW Conference on Biosimilars will provide updates and explore potential solutions to these concern.

abstract: CHI’s successful Alliance Management Congress is growing! Our growth mirrors recent survey results collected from eighty-nine thought leaders in alliance management, diagnostics, medical devices, and licensing. In light of the economy and state of industry, 88% deem alliances as critical and essential to their organization’s alliance activity. During the next 9-12 months, 84% will grow their alliances with new partners including those from academic institutions, diagnostics, medical devices, and international markets. The Collaborations, Deals, and Alliances Congress will house the 7th Annual Alliance Management Congress, the inaugural conference on Collaboration and Deal Making Strategies to Commercialize Molecular Diagnostics, and the 2nd Annual Combination Drug Therapies: Overcoming Challenges in the Development of Fixed Dose and Co-Packaged Combinations. The Collaborations, Deals, and Alliances Congress is for Vice Presidents, Department Heads, Directors, and Managers of Alliance Management, Business Development, Licensing, R&D, Project Management, Clinical Development, and Drug Regulatory Affairs from pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostics, and medical devices companies. The Collaborations, Deals, and Alliances Congress offers novel case studies, strategies, and techniques from thought leaders who have real-world perspectives to share. There will be case studies of best practice examples, keynotes, industry trends and updates, interactive discussion groups, and panel discussions. The Collaborations, Deals, and Alliances Congress offers multiple conference tracks that provide education for an individual’s area of interest. The Collaborations, Deals, and Alliances Congress also offers joint sessions between the tracks and networking opportunities to provide cross-disciplinary learning.

abstract: The course is comprised of lectures, delivered by leading experts in each field of ADME, interspersed with interactive workshops centred around practical examples demonstrating how in vitro data generated during drug development can be used to predict:

• Metabolic drug clearance (CL)
• Metabolic drug-drug interactions (DDIs)
• Gut first-pass metabolism
• Oral drug absorption incorporating food effects and the impact of dosage form
• Effect of transporters and enterohepatic recirculation on kinetics
• Drug distribution to different organs
• Population variability in drug concentration-time profiles
• Variation in kinetics in specific populations (paediatrics, ethnic groups, various disease populations)
• Time-course of drug in plasma that fits observed clinical data (achieved using fitting modules within physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models combined with drug specific in vitro information.)

abstract: Welcome to the 2nd annual Probe Discovery conference and exhibition. This year's event takes place in Washington, capital city of the United States. The word 'probe' is a broad term which can be interpreted to mean any one of a wide variety of agents. These include active chemistries discovered in academic screening labs or in government (MLPCN or the NIH), commercially available probes (i.e. dyes, antibodies, fluorescent proteins), failed drug candidates from Pharma, whole body or cellular imaging agents, specific biomarkers or tool molecules from chemogenomics and/or systems biology efforts. The goal of this conference is to bring all of the various incarnations of probe hunters together to share experience and network to a common purpose. The conference will be co-located with Ion Channel Targets. Registered delegates will have access to both meetings ensuring a very cost-effective trip. Confirmed Speakers Hakim Djaballah, Director, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre Rathman Chaguturu Director, University of Kansas Peter Brown Project Manager, University of Toronto Agenda Topics Failed Drug Candidates as Probes Dyes, Antibodies and Fluorescent Proteins Whole Body or Cellular Imaging Agents Tool Molecules from Chemogenomics Innovative Assay Technologies for Probe Discovery
