The 7th Summer School on Medicines (SSM7) will be held in Montreal

The 7th Summer School on Medicines (SSM7) will be held in Montreal from June 14 – 19, 2015. The program is co-organized by Biocat, Parc Científic de Barcelona (PCB), University of Barcelona (UB), University of de Montreal, University Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, CAPTOR Project – Investissement d’Avenir and Fundació INNABIOSANTE – Toulouse Cancer. SSM7 is geared towards students in the life sciences (university graduates, Masters students, PhD students, Postdocs), researchers and professionals from the biopharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies, among others. The deadline for registration is 10 June.

 

 

Discovering a new drug is a complex process that involves a wide range of highly specialized professionals in public institutions and industry, from biologists and chemists to clinicians, economists and regulatory affairs specialists. Since 2009, the Summer School of Medicines has become a benchmark for training in this area. Each year since 2009, the SSM has involved more than 60 students, professors and research companies, bringing the opportunity to learn about drug discovery process in a multicultural context (the participants come from Canada, France, Spain and other european countries).

SSM7 offers a unique 40-hour training program on drug discovery, development and market access under a multicultural sponsorship in the wonderful setting of Montreal, Quebec. Make plans now for one full week of lively presentations and direct interactions with the Faculty, including Case Studies and Workshops with Industry, covering the whole value chain of medicines, from “idea to market”. 

SSM7 is structured to cover the whole process that leads from ideas and projects to drugs reaching the market, with interactive classes, case studies, a visit to a translational medicine research center and a full-day opportunity to network with experts from pharmaceutical companies in the Montreal area, one of the most active regions in North America.
