Dear all,

We regret to inform you that the National Conference on “New Insights into Pharmacogenomics, Drug development and Personalized Medicine” scheduled from 28th to 29th April, 2014 at Mahavir Hospital & Research Centre, Hyderabad is postponed. This sudden decision was a consequence of Nationwide General Elections for Loksabha and Assembly during this period throughout the country. The Conference is rescheduled for July 18th – 19th at the same venue.

Dear friends,

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the National Conference on “New insights into Pharmacogenomics, Drug Development and Personalized Medicine” being organized by Bhagwan Mahavir Medical Research Centre from 28th-29th April, 2014 in Hyderabad.

Today, India is being looked upon as a favourable destination for the conduct of pharmacogenomic research. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual’s genes affect the body’s response to drugs. It combines Pharmacology and genomics to develop effective and safe medications and doses that will be tailored to a person’s genetic makeup. Pharmacogenomics is a developing research field that is still in its infancy and new approaches are under way to develop more powerful and safe drugs, to develop more accurate methods to determine appropriate drug dosages based on person’s genetics rather than on weight and age basis, to develop new technologies in drug discovery, to decrease overall cost of health care, etc. In future, Pharmacogenomics will allow the development of tailored drugs to treat wide range of health problems including cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer disease, Cancer, HIV / AIDS and Asthma. The conference will be focused on Genome based therapeutics in man for various disorders. The sharing of knowledge in this field will serve as a forum for experts to come together to contribute to the safe and effective treatment for various health problems.

You will have the opportunity to learn about latest developments in personalized medicine, Pharmacogenomics, Drug Development and Clinical Research. Excellent research is being carried out on human diseases in different parts of the country and abroad. The Conference will highlight the innovative research of experts in this area. We are eager to have as many young scientists, as scholars and students as possible to attend since they are likely to benefit most from this conference.

With a view to provide a national forum for clinicians, scientists , educationists, pharmaceutical industry and policy makers to come together for exchange of views, ideas and experiences and to deliberate upon various issues related to Pharmacogenomics, Bhagwan Mahavir Medical Research Centre, Hyderabad is organizing this Conference.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

With best regards and good wishes,
