Drug Discovery 2018
14 7 933

Despite the rapid pace of scientific advances that garner a better understanding of a myriad of diseased on their molecular level, modern drug discovery is a long, complex process. While on the one side, new medicines offer more manageable side effects, fewer hospitalizations, and increased productivity, each new drug is up against the scientific, technical, and regulatory challenges related to drug development

As to be expected, the course of action for researching and developing new medicines is growing in difficulty and length. It can take anywhere from 10 or more years for a drug to reach the marketplace, toting a price tag of an estimated $2.6 billion. It is in this landscape that LabRoots is proud to announce its newest addition to the virtual event line up – Drug Discovery 2018!

Industry leaders from around the world will join together and discuss the advancements, challenges and successes of discovery and developing new medicines during this free, two-day event.

LabRoots virtual conferences allow you to participate in a global setting, with no travel or cost to you. You can participate in exactly those parts which you are interested in and be back at your desk or bench in an instant. Virtual events remove time and place restrictions and ensure that everyone who wants to participate can do so. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global neuroscience community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
 

Call for Posters — Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary, and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2018 Drug Discovery Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract here.

  • Martin Shaw
    Business Development Manager at AroCell AB
    Biography
      Between 1994-2015 he worked at EKF Diagnostics in Wales (formerly Argutus Medical) where he introduced and promoted a wide range of novel kidney and liver tests, including important biomarkers that are now being evaluated by the IMI (Innovative Medicines Initiative) and FDA as qualified for use in toxicological testing. He developed strong relationships with hospitals, clinical research organizations and pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca, Sanofi Aventis, Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, Glaxo Smith Kline and Johnson and Johnson. From 1975-1992 Martin Shaw filled many technical and marketing roles at Pharmacia Diagnostics (now Thermo-Fisher). He and his coworkers developed and introduced the first commercial tests for neonatal hypothyroidism, celiac disease, and a range of novel biomarkers to monitor allergy and inflammation. Bringing testing close to the patient is important and Martin brings this experience from being Marketing Manager at Magnasense Technologies, Finland, where he introduced and promoted a novel point-of-care test system based on magnetically labelled antibodies. Martin has published several peer-reviewed articles on biomarkers and presented at many scientific congresses, including being guest speaker at the FDA.
