WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear colleagues,
From my position as Chairman of the 1st International CRS Congress, which will be held in Athens on 27-28 May 2015, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to Athens.
This congress program includes both small molecules (innovative drugs-generics) and biotechnological drugs-biosimilars in parallel sessions. The program on small molecules includes drug discovery and design, drug delivery and nanotechnology, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenomics studies for the rational therapeutic use of drugs.
In parallel, the recent developments in the basic research of biotechnologically produced macromolecules such as dynamic configuration of proteins, formulation of biotechnological molecules, proteomics, therapeutic targeting of biological pathways and biomarkers will be discussed; also, applied aspects of the clinical practice of biotechnological drugs like the interchangeability of biotechnological drugs and biosimilars, the optimization of therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies in oncology and rheumatology along with the health economics of biotechnological medicines and biosimilars will be presented. Eminent world-wide scientists are listed among the confirmed speakers.
In order to guarantee the quality of future research and new practical applications, a dialogue between experienced colleagues, young scientists and professionals is encouraged.

WORKSHOP
Workshop Advances in scientific-regulatory issues in drug development and authorization processes MD Pharmacon Pharmaceutical Services Ltd (www.mdpharmacon.com) organizes a one-day (May 29, 2015) workshop on ‘Advances in scientific-regulatory issues in drug development and authorization processes’. The program is focusing on the scientific basis for the regulatory standards which have undergone rapid and significant changes since the beginning of this century up to the most recent changes in the regulatory framework adopted by Agencies. Overall, the workshop will focus on current ‘hot topics’ of regulatory science as outlined in the attached program.
