Pharmacology 2016, with Guest Societies: ASCPT, ASPET, and CNPHARS
December 13-15, 2016
Queen Elizabeth II Centre, London, UK
ASPET and the BPS have a long-standing relationship through meeting sponsorship and partnering on Pharmacology Research and Perspectives. In recent years, ASPET and the BPS have increased their collaborations by serving as guest societies at each other's annual meetings. Joint ASPET/BPS meetings have been held in Cardiff, Wales (2000) and in Boston, MA (2013).
As a guest society, ASPET will be present at Stand #11, and will be hosting a symposium at the Pharmacology 2016 meeting:
The Long Reach of the Bowel: Translating Microbiome Science into Therapeutics for Systemic Human Diseases
The overall objective is to present new
findings regarding GPCR expression in a variety of cell types and
tissues and the role of newly recognized non-traditional and orphan
GPCRs in regulating organ function and as potential therapeutic
targets.
At the end of the program the audience
will have translational insights and a balanced view of the promise and
challenges of microbiome hypothesis generation and testing, especially
with respect to its metabolic role. They will also learn about the
latest pharmacological tools and potential therapeutic approaches for
drug discovery using bacteria.
Read a welcome letter from the British Pharmacological Society.
