September 19-21, 2011   Pavia, Italy

The Summer School on Pharmaceutical Analysis (SSPA) is yearly planned under the auspices of the Division of Medicinal Chemistry of the Italian Chemical Society and the EFMC (European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry).  This three days school is mainly addressed to researchers and PhD students of the Faculties of Pharmacy and Sciences and to young scientists from pharmaceutical industries.

SSPA is organized on a three-year program on the most advanced analytical methodologies involved into the various stages of the launch of new drugs, from drug discovery (hit selection, structure properties relationship), through drug development (ADME/PK properties, biomarkers discovery) up to formulation and quality control.

 

September 11-16, 2011   Vienna, Austria

The summer school especially focuses on students and professionals who have a clear interest in learning the basics as well as latest developments in Drug Design. The program has put an emphasis on computational technologies used for the development of new drugs recently During the afternoon sessions the participants will have the opportunity to obtain hands-on training via computational exercises.

July 3-8, 2011   Urbino, Italy

The mission of the ESMEC is to provide participants, PhD students and junior researchers from both academia and industry, with the most recent advances in the field of medicinal and organic chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology and analytical/ structural chemistry. This idea is aimed to reflect the current scenario of medicinal chemistry being a truly transdisciplinary approach, where the advances in knowledge are driven by the medicinal chemist’s ability to translate into new molecular concepts and into novel molecular entities the amount of information created by molecular medicine, pharmacology, molecular biology, systems biology. 

For these reasons, the School is directed to participants at a graduated and post-graduated level, in chemistry but also in pharmacology or biology, who are keen to explore the interdisciplinary context of current cutting-edge research in medicinal chemistry. To achieve these very ambitious goals, the School is organized into thematic sessions, each of them constructed around a series of lectures, followed by practical workshops.

The Second INFOBIOMED Training Challenge follows an innovative format that will gather two groups of five students with different backgrounds (bioinformatics, medical informatics, biology, medicine, chemistry, etc. ) that will be working together in a case study that will benefit from an integrative approach.

Pharmainformatics will be the broad theme of this edition. Each student is required to submit a motivated case study upon application and among the case studies proposed, the organizing committee will select one case study per group, according to the potential it offers for cross-discipline approaches.

Students will be lodged in a hotel in Viladrau, 80 km from Barcelona. The student expenses will be covered by the INFOBIOMED project. The application deadline is 24th of March 2006. The application form can be found on the Second INFOBIOMED Training challenge webpage. http://www.infobiomed.org
