Organized by:
PhysChem Forum Committee and Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology Subcommittee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
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.
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)
All posters are welcome but the presentations are reserved for non-commercial work. A prize, kindly sponsored by Sirius Analytical will be awarded to the best poster as dedicated by the committee.
We shall be holding a "Welcome Dinner", including a keynote presentation by Paul Leeson at Hotel President Budapest, on 18th April 2012 (the evening before the symposium).
