Welcome

 

On behalf of the Steering Committee, Session Chairs and organizers from Congrex, welcome to MipTec 2009. The conference in October 2008 marked some dramatic changes for MipTec: Most notable was the policy of free registration for the conference and exhibits. This drew a record attendance for the 12 years of the conference with more than 2’300 attendees. It was so successful that free registration will be continued for 2009. Other changes are also in place for 2009, including additional session chairs, renowned experts in their fields, to bring new ideas to the drug discovery themes. A new session on biopharmaceuticals will ensure the scientific program stays current, while updating and improving established sessions will ensure that these important topics continue to be leading edge. Whether you are an academic scientist, a researcher in a pharmaceutical or biotech company or a developer and supplier of technology, this is the conference that should not be missed.

 

Join us in the lovely city of Basel for MipTec 2009, the most important European drug discovery conference with a worldwide scope.
