Cardiac Safety

Dec 4, 2008 - Dec 5, 2008,
Hilton Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia Spain

The rapid development of Cardiac Safety standards in clinical and drug development practices, coupled with the increased regulatory scrutiny, has resulted in a momentous evolution of the cardiac drug safety field. The ICH-E14 guidance has been at the centre of the public and industry interest since its inception in 2003. After its finalization in 2005, focus has shifted to regional interpretation and implementation of the guidance and the development of cardiac safety compliance strategies by biopharmaceutical and other organisations.

The implementation of the E14 guidance has recently also been broadened to cover oncology drugs and biologics, with associated challenges in terms of e.g. finding alternatives to the ‘thorough QT study’ in healthy volunteers. Concomitantly, the field of Cardiac Drug Safety has expanded beyond the repolarisation and arrhythmia issues and is now involving wider areas of drug induced cardiotoxicity, including vascular and tissue related toxicities. These topics and other will be discussed at the forthcoming DIA Cardiac Safety meeting, alongside presentations of new technologies and novel biomarkers for early detection and risk management of drug related cardiac toxicity.

9th Conference on European Electronic Document Management

Dec 4, 2008 - Dec 5, 2008,
Hilton Barcelona Barcelona Spain

During the past decades we dreamed, anticipated, waited for a future time when technology would shape a new landscape for EDM. Many of the components have been around for quite a long time. Others are just emerging. But now, for the first time, that future has come to being. EDM in many different shapes, spanning from home-grown systems to hosted repositories, has become the established method for managing official
documentation. Registration dossiers are built electronically even for paper submissions and safety information is exchanged in electronic formats. Is this the end of the story? Certainly not but this much is certain: the future we dreamed of then, is now.

Individual And Team Decisions In Economics

Dec 4, 2008 - Dec 6, 2008,
Innsbruck, Austria

The workshop assembles researchers that study the differences in behavior and decision-making of small unitary teams and individuals both theoretically and experimentally. Because team decision-making is almost ubiquitous but economists have nevertheless hitherto often relied on representative-individual models, the differences between individual and team behavior have recently attracted more and more interest in economics. The workshop comprises issues such as differences in learning, bargaining and the effects of social preferences on team decisions.

Leadership Educators Institute

Dec 4, 2008 - Dec 6, 2008,
University of Maryland College Park, Maryland United States

Leadership education of college and university students is an important and ongoing process within higher education institutions. Student affairs professionals play a quintessential role in coordinating, shaping, and evaluating this area through developing leadership courses and programs, creating co-curricular opportunities, and utilizing new technologies. The Leadership Educators Institute (LEI) is an innovative forum geared specifically towards new to mid-level student affairs professionals and leadership educators with these responsibilities.

Participants will learn from plenary speakers and educational sessions, as well as through engaging in active learning and dialogue with one another during roundtable sessions.

The meeting is a chance to get to know your colleagues near and far, seek collaborative opportunities, and find synergies that can drive our field forward.

For 2008 we will continue with the changes made in 2007 with extending the meeting to three full days, keeping the short talks to 10 minutes, and keeping with a larger poster session, allowing everyone who wants to present to do so.

Neurodegenerative Diseases: Biology & Therapeutics

Dec 4, 2008 - Dec 7, 2008,
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cold Spring Harbor, New York United States

Rational drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases has begun to yield compounds and approaches which are entering the clinic. In order for these human studies to yield a maximum of information and success, it is now more crucial than ever for scientists from academia and industry to have forums for the exchange of data and ideas.

This meeting will consist of six to seven sessions, each of which will be composed of one talk by the session chair, one talk by an invited speaker, and several additional talks selected from the submitted abstracts. It is expected that half of the session chairs and speakers (invited and from submitted abstracts) will be from each "sector": i.e., half from academia and half from industry.
