Richmond Pharmacology is proud to announce that it will be hosting the AHPPI Winter Meeting early next month.

The AHPPI is an informal cross-industry discussion group whose purpose is to address issues facing those involved in early phase drug development and to educate members through directed symposia at each of its 2 meetings per year.

The Association has been in existence for over nearly 2 decades and has forged links with both other scientific societies with similar interests and with professional bodies such as the ABPI and ICR.   For several years, the association has been organising joint biannual meetings with the clinical section of the British Pharmacological Society , all of which have been very successful and will continue in the future.

This year’s AHPPI Annual Winter meeting will be hosted at St George’s Hospital, University of London, Tooting and will take place on 4th February 2010. We kindly invite all members of the AHPPI as well as those who are not members and keen to attend, to join us on the day.

The meeting has recently been awarded 3 CPD points by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Physicians.

The topic of discussion will be “Current Advances in the Development of Vaccines and Biopharmaceuticals: A Challenge not be Sneezed at?” and there is an exciting list of key speakers already lined up for the day, namely;
