International Symposium on Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors. Physiology, Pathology and Therapeutics.
16th-17th February 2012 - Auditorium Santiago Grisolía - Valencia, Spain
The International Symposium on Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors. Phisiology, pathology and therapeutics will be held in the Auditorium Santiago Grisolía at the Science Museum Principe Felipe of Valencia (Spain). The museum, designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, and with an auditorium of 2.800 square metres, provides the perfect venue for this symposium. Valencia has a cultural heritage of over two thousand years in history and has turned into a very modern city which is easily accessible by road, rail, sea and air. Its culture, cuisine and academic tradition along with its location on the Mediterranean coast and its pleasant climate, make the city the ideal setting for this symposium.
The Magic of Medicine
16th February 2012 - The Dana Centre, London
Since the dawn of time humans have looked to nature to try and find cures for their aches and pains. The Ancient Greeks would chew willow for pain relief, now it’s the main constituent of aspirin. Then during the 19th century the effects these compounds had on the body were studied and ways to refine and improve them were found by a new breed of scientists: pharmacologists. Over the 20th century we saw the rise of the pharmaceutical industry, its blockbuster drugs beginning the conquest of pain and infection. But does Mother Nature still have more to give? At the beginning of the 21st century we see the pharmaceutical industry at a time of change, retreat and restructuring: what will happen next? How close are we to the personalised medicines of the future that are matched to not only the disease but our individual genetic make-ups too? How can the new wave of genetically modified ‘humanised’ mice improve the drug discovery process?

Stroke Conference Latest Advances in Stroke Patient Care and Research
16th March 2012 - Congress Centre, London
Stroke has become a major challenge for medicine and health policy. It is the third biggest cause of death in the UK and largest single cause of severe disability. Recent advances in the recommended clinical management of stroke patients are occurring at a rapid pace, making it difficult for busy health care professionals to keep updated in this field. Research and new technology are constantly pushing the envelope and delivering new therapies, procedures and ways of working. Recognition of stroke as a medical emergency has also led to a significant reorganisation of services. Now designed to deliver optimal hyper-acute care and improve the outcomes for the growing number of stroke survivors. This update of the latest research and advances in the emergency and early treatment for stroke patients will be invaluable in helping clinicians deal with difficult management decisions encountered in the care of patients with cerebrovascular disease.
