There is a recognised need within the physical chemistry (phys chem) and ADMET (Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion Toxicity) industry for a forum for discussion between those scientists carrying out practical research and analytical work. There have been a number of extremely high quality international meetings covering all aspects of this field and while the papers presented have been cutting edge there has been limited scope for bench scientists to meet in a more informal setting with a view to presenting current work and a discussion of challenges that were overcome and those yet to be faced. Furthermore these meetings have generally been expensive precluding multiple attendees from smaller departments.
Our goal is to generate an environment for informed debate and discussion in a non-commercial setting with excellent networking opportunities.
After the three successful LogP Symposia in 1995 and 2000 in Lausanne and 2004 in Zurich, we are delighted to announce the 4th LogP Symposium to be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in 2009.
The LogP2009 Symposium offers a platform for learning and exchange. The focus will be on in vitro and in silico techniques to predict and optimise the pharmacokinetic (ADMET) behaviour of lead and drug candidates. We expect between 200 and 400 participants from industry and academia in "Science City", the growing ETH Campus Honggerberg, Zurich.
The main topics will be:
-
PhysChem (ionisation, solubility, partitioning, permeation) including a debate on "Membrane Permeation Mechanisms"
- Absorption, Distribution and Excretion, with a strong focus on transporter proteins
- Metabolism and Toxicity
