Abstract:
This conference on the Frontiers of Drug Development was co-sponsored by the University of Southern California (USC) and three Japanese universities: Tokyo University of Pharmacy & Life Science (TUPLS), Nagoya City University (NCU), and Meijo University (MU). A major focus of the meeting was to present research activities from these four universities in the area of drug development in conventional, as well as in complementary, therapy. Speakers were also invited from universities other than the sponsoring institutions. The intention was to present a comprehensive coverage of drug development processes, from molecular design to pharmacoeconomic considerations.
