Thursday, March 01, 2012  |   |   |   |  CHI's World Pharma Congress 2012 encompasses a broad spectrum of topics that are very important and relevant to scientists in academia as well as those in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Building on last year's focus on the pre-clinical activities, the conferences continue to cover topics around drug discovery for various therapeutic areas (Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Pain), technologies related to discovery and development (Preclinical Models in Oncology and Molecular Imaging) and topics related to drug safety (Cardiotoxicity and Hepatotoxicity). The conferences all offer informative and pragmatic viewpoints for tackling issues relevant to chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists and clinicians alike. Each conference features presentations, interactive panels and technology talks that cover the very latest on the topic, both on the scientific and the technical side. The World Pharma Congress continues to offer attendees and exhibitors ample opportunity to network, brainstorm and collaborate on various fronts.
