SMi's 10th annual Oncology Imaging for Drug Development conference, taking place on the 12-13 March in London, will provide comprehensive insights into the usage of imaging in clinical trials, giving delegates access to the latest information, legislation and case studies across the industry from innovators including Roche Diagnostics, Novartis and GSK, among others. The two-day conference programme will two-day conference programme will feature keynote addresses highlighting essential topics including accelerating preclinical drug development using in vivo and ex vivo imaging, impact of electronic transfer of scans on imaging trials and the role of imaging in myeloproliferative neoplasms.

London (PRWEB UK) 24 November 2013

SMi's 10th annual Oncology Imaging for Drug Development conference will provide attendees with a comprehensive insight into the industry and its future. The two-day event will be considering the current landscape of personalised imaging within the field of oncology, as research suggests healthcare that is inherently more ‘personal’ is the way forward. In addition, this year’s event will explore current and future legislation and its impact on imaging. The use of imaging in clinical trials will also be examined and discussed, together with the use of novel biomarkers.

Key event highlights at SMi's 10th annual Oncology Imaging for Drug Development include:

•     Examine the challenges of multicentre imaging studies.
•     Two new sessions on audit methodologies and the central review from Perceptive Informatics and the US National Institute of Health.
•     Discuss case studies, challenges and opportunities in imaging guidelines featuring Novartis and GSK.
•     Gain an in-depth insight into the challenges of imaging in Europe.
•     Evaluate the value of imaging strategically.

Plus, don't miss the Pharmacokinetics pre-conference workshop on 11th March 2014; led by Dr Marijn Vlaming, Research Scientist, TNO.

In this workshop various non- or minimally invasive methods to study pharmacokinetics in preclinical (in vitro and in vivo) and clinical settings will be presented. We will further describe methods to translate preclinical data to the situation in humans and options to obtain relevant data from humans early in the drug development process.
