Third Annual Chapel Hill Drug Conference, May 15-17, 2008
Conference Highlights from May 16-17, 2008
The Third Annual Chapel Hill Drug Conference was held May 16-17, 2008 at the Rizzo Conference Center. This year the CICBDD had the honor of organizing the program which focused on academic drug discovery. The one and a half day event featured a roster of outstanding scientists presenting talks that coverd the spectrum from successfully launched medicines discovered in academia and novel chemical biological approaches for target and lead identification, to organizing concepts and challenges for academic centers for drug discovery. The program also included two representatives from NIH to discuss the National Chemical Genomics Center and the role of public-private partnerships. The conference is sponsored each year by the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Additonal sponsorship for the 2008 conference was provided by a conference grant from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, and financial contributions from GlaxoSmithKline and PPD Inc.
