- Hedge Fund Replication & Alternative Beta USA 2008
-
Sep 22, 2008 - Sep 24, 2008,
New York, New York United StatesThe hedge fund industry is slowly beginning to acknowledge that a large part of its returns comes not from alpha, but from "alternative beta" factors - systematic exposures to a diverse array of risk premia.
One of the key implications of alternative beta theory is that it is possible to create synthetic hedge funds, which replicate the alternative beta exposures of hedge funds. The aim of these funds is to generate hedge fund-like returns without hedge fund fees.
For delegates
Hedge Fund Replication & Alternative Beta USA is the only dedicated alternative beta event for the US market. Leading international and US investors, academics and funds will debate the next waves of product innovation in wake of new investor appetite.
In 2008 our audience and speakers will debate the merits of the newest products, and provide a unique insight into how this industry has performed in the past 12 months and the impact the “alternative beta revolution” is having on the active hedge fund industry.

Rhode Island Convention Center, Providence, Rhode Island United StatesAs new sequencing platforms are capable of generating gigabytes of data in a single sequence run - leading to terabytes of data in an experiment; data storage, transfer, and analysis will unquestionably be the rate limiting steps in turning the new sequence data into knowledge. CHI’s Inaugural Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis convenes engineers who are developing the sequencing platforms, biological researchers who are designing and running the experiments, biosatiations who are analyzing and interpreting the data, and software developers who are managing and storing the data. Each specialty provides perspectives and must be integrated into a cohesive, comprehensive team to decipher the sequencing data deluge.

- Medical Approach in Diagnosis and Management of ADRs
-
Sep 22, 2008 - Sep 23, 2008,
SAS Radisson Hotel Boulogne Paris FranceThe 15th edition of this annual educational seminar, considered by many experts as one of the pillars of medical training in pharmacovigilance, focuses on medical knowledge in the diagnosis and management of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). A medical approach is needed for the identification, labelling and understanding of ADR mechanisms. It can also improve the evaluation of the probability that a medicinal product may have played a role in the occurrence of an adverse event. This is particularly useful for the first 2 or 3 cases of serious reactions occurring during clinical trials when important decisions must be taken regarding a drug under development. The medical approach presented during this seminar is mainly based on the conclusions of international or national consensus meetings on adverse drug reactions.

Sep 22, 2008 - Sep 24, 2008,
SAS Radisson Hotel Boulogne, Paris, Ile de France FranceThe success of a clinical study is very much dependant on its efficient preparation and effective conduct. Study managers should be knowledgable about required quality and regulatory standards, roles and responsibilities of team members and be able to select and oversee internal and external resources. Study managers also should be able to anticipate potential problems, offer creative solutions and develop strategies to mitigate risk.
This training course provides a comprehensive overview of the essential elements of study management and the clinical study environment in the context of the overall drug development process.
After successful completion of the training course the participants will be able to efficiently plan, execute and manage a clinical study from protocol to final report. - full details
