Opal Events is proud to present our next exciting conference Drug Discovery Partnerships: Academia & Industrial Interactions , to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Boston on October 28-30, 2009.

Early stage drug discovery is a key bottleneck in the pipeline to find novel drugs. With key products suffering patent expiration in coming years, the need for new approaches to accelerate development of new chemical entities to treat severely unmet medical needs is more urgent than ever. This event brings together pharmaceutical companies, universities, small biotechnology enterprises, government agencies, for-profit and not-for profit research institutions to exchange ideas, make connections and discuss opportunities to create an environment that will foster pharmaceutical innovation.
