Dear Colleague:

I am pleased to announce the anchor event in our Global Drug Development Series. This event will bring together the experts and delegates from our industry-recognized annual China and India conferences, as well as those involved in projects in Greater Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Faculty members and delegates will focus on strategies and approaches to navigating the opportunities and challenges of drug discovery and development in emerging regions.

The 2007 Global R&D Congress will be a two-day interactive forum of in-depth case studies, roundtable and panel discussions, pre-conference tutorials, keynote presentations, and break-out sessions by function area. Please note that there are three (3) tracks being offered:

Track A = Basic Research & Discovery
Track B = Pre-Clinical Development
Track C = Clinical Operations

Please see below for a list of speakers that are presenting.

Despite there being three distinct tracks, you will see in the agenda that we are taking great effort to bring experts and delegates from different function areas together both at the beginning and end of each day for discussion.

I look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia!

Sincerely,


Conference Director, Pharmaceutical Strategy Series
Cambridge Healthtech Institute
