Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants

Pharmacogenetics is a rapidly growing science. It can be defined as the genetic factors implicated the variability of drug response. Its scientific bases are now strong but its clinical applications are still limited. The goal of this meeting will be to present the scientific bases of pharmacogenetics and to discuss its present and future clinical and pharmaceutical applications as well as its consequences on the health systems. It will be organized with scientific sessions, plenary lectures, round tables and posters sessions with a schedule allowing time for open discussions. The main topics will be: genome variability and consequences for drug response, new technological approaches, genetic variations in drug metabolism, transport and targets, pharmaceutical and clinical applications, implication  for health systems; the meeting will end with a perspective on other biomarkers (other ”omics”). At the end of the meeting we should have a good idea of the actual position of pharmacogenetics and of the studies to perform in order to validate its clinical and pharmaceutical use.
