PhysChem FORUM 12

Organized by:

PhysChem Forum Committee and Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology Subcommittee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences





Introduction

The PhysChem Forum Committee are pleased to announce our twelfth Physical Chemistry Forum will be held at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), Main building, Budapest, Hungary on Thursday 19th April 2012.

This symposium will have the themes: design of lead molecules with more appropriate physico-chemical properties; models of gastro-intestinal absorption; special issues of solubility and dissolution measurements and new applications of PAMPA method.


Lectures and Posters

The programme will comprise a mixture of presentations and posters with ample opportunity dedicated to questions.

The speakers will be include: Paul Leeson (GSK), keynote; György Keserű (Gedeon Richter); Nathalie Gobeau (Novartis); Andy Davis (AstraZeneca); Edmund Kostewicz (Geothe University); Joerg Berghausen (Novartis); György Balogh (Gedeon Richter); Bálint Sinkó (Semmelweis University)
