Event preview: Drug Discovery Week Europe

From 7-10 October 2014, GTCbio will proudly present its Drug Discovery Week Europe event in the beautiful city of Dublin, Ireland. First founded as a Viking colony as the Kingdom of Dublin, the city has become known worldwide for its culture, education, arts, industry and perhaps now, its status as the host city of GTCbio’s Drug Discovery Week Europe.

Home to more than 1.8 million residents, GTCbio’s conference will introduce a number of topics from a host of expert speakers that will enlighten attendees to a variety of amazing topics. Scheduled to speak at the conference include such notables as:

• Robert F. Murphy, Ray and Stephanie Lane Professor, Computational Biology, Carnegie Mellon University
• Vasilis Ntziachristos, Professor and Chair, Biological Imaging, Technische Universität München and Helmholtz Zentrum München
• Kurt Anderson, Professor, Cell Migration, University of Glasgow
• Klaas Nicolay, Professor, Biomedical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology
• Markus Aswendt, In-Vivo-NMR Laboratory, Max-Planck-Institute for Metabolism Research
• Sarah Nietzer, Chair, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, University Hospital Wuerzburg
• Florence Colliez, PhD Student, Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Research Group, Université Catholique de Louvain

With many other speakers taking part in this event, attendees can look forward to hearing the latest news and information on dozens of topics including:
