16th World Congress of Basic Clinical Pharmacology

It is our pleasure to present the programme for the 16th World Congress of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, WorldPharma2010, to be held in Copenhagen 17-23 July 2010.
For this IUPHAR congress, basic and clinical pharmacology, kept separate for too long, have come together again for a remarriage to encompass the whole process of drug development from molecular biology to clinical practice. Here the World s basic and clinical pharmacologists and all those dealing with the development and use of drugs will meet to discuss how we can work together to meet the need for safe and effective medicines at affordable prices.
As will be seen from the programme, WorldPharma2010 provides in depth treatment of the hottest topics in basic and clinical pharmacology, while at the same time offering the broad perspective of how drugs affect the living organism, which is the foundation of our subject.
The programme is based on 18 two- or three- day focused conferences with a slate of top-level speakers throughout. In addition the programme offers world-class plenary lectures, as well as a range of workshops and sponsored symposia. There is a wide range of possibilities for involvement of young investigators and investigators from developing countries including poster sessions and free communications.
The programme thus provides a unique opportunity for the World`s pharmacologists to meet for what is promised to be a scientifically excellent programme as well as the opportunity to savour the atmosphere of Copenhagen.
