Conference chairs F. Peter Guengerich, Professor of Biochemistry and the Director of Vanderbilt’s Center in Molecular Toxicology, and Dr. James MacDonald, EVP of Preclinical Development at the Schering-Plough Research Institute, have developed this program to cover the chemical basis of toxicity as it applies to medicinal chemistry. Sessions will be held on reactive metabolites and alternative mechanisms, with an emphasis on specific chemical groups and methods of screening. Numerous case studies will be given throughout the program by scientists from Pfizer, Schering Plough, and Merck, among others. The conference will also cover some newer methods and even future approaches to assessing the toxicity potential of compounds in humans, including “omics” approaches, and will provide a view of the current regulatory environment -- and therefore the level of likely acceptance of those methods.
