Joint Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory/Wellcome Trust Conference PHARMACOGENOMICS
& PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
|
| 2007 Full Conference Program |
The seventh Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory/Wellcome Trust conference on Pharmacogenomics & Personalized Medicine will be held at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK. The meeting will begin in the late afternoon of Saturday September 12, and end after the banquet on Tuesday September 15, 2009. Departure on Wednesday morning.
This meeting will focus on the opportunities presented by the growing contribution of emerging genomic information and technologies to interdisciplinary approaches in the study of variable responses of humans to drugs and toxic agents, and how research may benefit the individual. The meeting will provide an in depth focus on diverse areas including the biochemistry and physiology of drug action, uptake and metabolism, and how this is affected by genetics; the opportunities for discovery and design of new therapeutic agents; personalizing medicine; understanding and managing adverse drug reactions; the impact of academic and commercial initiatives; ethical, legal, regulatory and social consequences of genetics applied to medicines.
We aim to bring together senior and junior investigators, postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers, medical, regulatory and ethical experts in a range of disciplines to share existing research and experience, and to explore the potential of working together in new international and interdisciplinary research areas for the benefit of individual patients.

Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our website as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers. Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. All registrations and abstracts MUST be submitted by the abstract deadline, July 1, 2009. Late registration may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting is not oversubscribed. In the event of over subscription, every effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish to participate will be represented.
