Proteomics
There has been a significant drive by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to find and develop compounds that will become tomorrow’s outstanding new drugs. This has led to a proliferation in new technologies, new strategies and new ways of thinking for the industries. With the rapidly expanding proteomics sector playing a key role in the acceleration of new products in the new era of drug discovery, the potential applications of proteomics are enormous, offering the key to the future success of next generation drugs.

SAE Media Group’s “Proteomics” conference will explore the latest proteomics-based approaches to drug discovery and development, providing you with the latest information within this exciting field. The conference will address the key issues, including the development of novel technologies, integration of proteomics into the drug development process, and strategic applications of proteomics to ensure product success. Commercial issues such as regulatory, intellectual property and partnering issues will also be discussed. This top-level forum brings together experts in the field of proteomics to offer a valuable insight into the promising potential of proteomics within the future of the drug industry.

Benefits of attending:

· Keep up to date with industry developments in this vital area

· Explore the latest developments and innovations in proteomics

· Learn about the latest strategy techniques to increase both your efficiency and productivity

· Meet the key players: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Oxford Glycosciences, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, The Human Proteome Organisation.

What’s more there will be plenty of opportunities to network with leaders in the fields of proteomics, drug discovery and emerging technologies.

    IN SILICO PROTEOMICS

    Dr Gareth Roberts

    Processing data to yield biological tools and ligands is a critical choke point in drug discovery

  • Smart informatics and data mining are revealing patterns in the way proteins interact with each other
  • A knowledge of validated patterns or rules provides a powerful predictive in silico paradigm
  • Using this paradigm it is possible to design specific ligands, identify binding regions on proteins and predict protein partners
  • This new knowledge opens up the frontier to in silico drug discovery

    Initial exploration and design takes place in silico, the results of this work are then validated in specific, focussed biological experiments

  • In silico approaches can supplant the ‘high throughput, random screening, combinatorial library’ paradigms

    In silico proteomics offers a fast, directed and intelligent way from a linear protein sequence into a drug discovery programme.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
