EUFEPS Announcement 6th Training Course on High-Throughput (HT) Drug Metabolism/Disposition(DM/D) May 21–25 • 2007 • Amsterdam • The Netherlands This is a Monday to Friday course comprising theoretical and practice-oriented training in drug metabolism, disposition and safety, with special emphasis on modern high-throughput aspects. The programme will start in the morning of Monday May 21, at 09.00 (Sunday, May 20 registration), and it will end on Friday, May 25, at 15.30. Background The EUFEPS Committee on Industrial Relations (CIR) initiated this Course. Five successful Courses were previously given in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. It is concentrated to five full teaching days, including lecturing and demonstrations, and organised in collaboration with the LACDR-Section of Molecular Toxicology, Department of Pharmacochemistry, Vrije Universiteit (Free University), Amsterdam NL. Goals and participants Specific goals of the Course include: • To learn to critically evaluate the basic concepts of HT technologies in drug metabolism/disposition. • To learn the possibilities but also the limitations of HT-drug metabolism/disposition technologies in daily practices. • To stimulate interdisciplinary learning of HT drug metabolism/disposition. • To stimulate research in and applications of HT drug metabolism/disposition. • To prepare new industrial and academic recruits better to meet the challenges of HT technologies in drug metabolism/ disposition. More general goals of the Course are: • To increase the general standard of the use of HT technologies in drug metabolism/disposition • To attract long term funding for a permanent training centre in HT drug metabolism / disposition. • To attract investments in HT drug metabolism/disposition technologies in academia, thereby improving the facilities for (undergraduate/graduate/PhD) training of future employees in industry and academia. Those who should attend include: • Post-doctoral/advanced PhD (or equal) level attendees from industry, CROs and innovative equipment and instrument manufacturers, as well as from academia. • Those working in pharmaceutical, bio-technological, bio-analytical, agro/fine chemical fields and in (bio)informatics. • Maximum 25 participants.

The specific aim of the Course is • To update the participants (with different backgrounds) on basic theory and concepts of drug metabolism/disposition and its role in drug discovery, drug development and safety assessment. • To provide the participants with a balanced theoretical background on the latest developments of HT approaches and technologies in the field. The general format of the Course includes 2 –3 speakers (theory) per day and invited HT-equipment/technology providers presenting, during 2,5 hrs sessions, interactively, their own equipment / technology and demonstration material. There will be ample time for interaction, case studies, and discussions led by the Course Leaders. A comprehensive Course Manual containing copies and relevant background material will be provided as well as a CD-rom containing lectures, cases and other relevant data. The intention is that real cases should be dealt with, e.g. consisting of data/dossiers from industry and literature.
General time schedule Teaching at 09.00 –12.30 and at 14.00 –17.30 and lunch at 12.30 –14.00.
