[e-farmacos] Pharmacogenomics E-Symposium 2005

["Llerena, Adrian" <allerena@unex.es>]

Para aquellos interesados en Farmacogenomica, creo que las nuevas
tecnologias pueden ser un buen instrumento de comunicacion para superar el
creciente ?biotechnological gap? entre los denominados ?mundo desarrollado?
y ?en desarrollo?. 

En lo referente a medicamentos deberian favorecerse estudios clinicos independientes que permitieran obtener la mayor eficacia de los farmacos para todas las poblaciones del planeta. En mi opinion la optimizacion de la terapeutica para todas las poblaciones, ademas del acceso, son sin duda parte de las deudas pendientes con la salud publica mundial para el siglo XXI.

Dear colleague,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate at the
Pharmacogenomics E-Symposium, an International Web Conference, an innovative
event and the annual meeting for the International Society of
Pharmacogenomics 
http://www.pharmacogenomicsociety.org

For an example of the interface, please click on the official invitation on the homepage, http://www.pgx.e-symposium.com.

The groundbreaking Pharmacogenomics E-Symposium will be broadcast live &
online on 12 December 2005 and archived thereafter. With personalised
medicine gaining momentum, it is vital for a truly global dialogue to
develop and we believe that the E-Symposium will stimulate indispensable
knowledge sharing amongst scientists, government officials, regulators, drug
manufacturers and medical professionals worldwide. The online nature of the
event means that all delegates will be able to tune in and listen to leading
scientists and experts from the convenience of their own workplace and share
knowledge with colleagues internationally. The E-Symposium is broadcast via
cutting edge webcasting technology which is accessible to anyone with a
computer, a soundcard and an Internet connection.
