Welcome WordsWe wish you a warm welcome to the 7th annual Drug Discovery conference,organized by ELRIG (European Laboratory Robotics Interest Group) andsupported by SLAS (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening).

ELRIG Drug Discovery has become the largest free-to-attend drugdiscovery conference in Europe, and includes the leading drug discoverytechnology vendor exhibition in the UK. We are excited to introduce whatwe think is one of the strongest line-ups of speakers, posters andexhibitors, from around Europe, that ELRIG Drug Discovery has everhosted. With so many eminent academic and industry scientistspresenting, Drug Discovery has deservedly become a major meeting placefor scientists from pharma, biotech and academia who are engaged in thechallenges of preclinical drug discovery.

We are delighted to welcome you, as a delegate, exhibitor, posterpresenter or speaker (or perhaps as several of the above!) to ManchesterCentral exhibition centre. We are located in the heart of Manchester,which has a fantastic heritage of innovation in science and technology. Wehope you will take the time to experience this great city during your visit.

Over the next two days, a superb range of world-class Speakers will bepresenting in eight Science Tracks. We have selected these tracks to coverkey current areas for Drug Discovery – from the advancing roles ofMacromolecules in drug discovery and as therapeutics, through thecurrent and future directions of Oncology research, to the exciting futurethat complex Primary and Stem Cell cultures will enable. This latter topicwill also feature prominently within our Plenary Lecture, given this year byRuth McKernan (Pfizer Neusentis). Ruth has been a passionate advocate ofstem cells as enabling tools for drug discovery for many years and we aredelighted to welcome her to Drug Discovery 2013. In vitro Safety,toxicology and drug metabolism assays are also addressed this year, asthese are key to delivering safe, efficacious and well tolerated medicines.We will once again look forward to the tracks covering Advances in AssayDevelopment and Screening, and chemical and biological SampleManagement. We are delighted to introduce a new track this year onTarget Validation and Biomarker identification - improvements in this areawill critically underpin our desire to improve success in translating in vitrotargets to success in the clinic.

Drug Discovery 2013 will end with a debate on the Future Landscapeof European Drug Discovery. In this, experts from across the key sectors offunding, academia and industry will discuss their ideas on new modelsand approaches that can ensure a vigorous, robust and successful drugdiscovery landscape in Europe.

About ELRIGWelcome to ELRIG’s Drug Discovery 2013!

ELRIG is a voluntary organisation, acting as the hub of thedrug discovery community in the UK and parts of Europe.We are dedicated to all aspects of technology neededwithin the drug discovery process, with a special emphasis

on the use of automation, robotics, instrumentation and biologicalsolutions in the life science research and drug discovery productionlaboratory.

With over 7000 members in our community, which consists of scientists,researchers, engineers, developers and business-people, all of whomhave an interest in drug discovery and the associated technologicaldevelopments in this field, we are delighted to once again to host andrun the premier drug discovery conference and exhibition in Europe,Drug Discovery 2013.

The meeting is a 48 hour festival of all that is new and relevant in ourindustry. From the latest technology presentations from innovativescientists, to workshops helping our community members to improvetheir careers and of course not forgetting the challenging Dragon’s Den!If it is connected to drug discovery, you will find it in the ManchesterCentral Convention Centre, over the next 2 days.

As a voluntary organisation, there are many people who have given theirtime to make this event happen, I would like to thank all of them for theirsupport and help in making this the drug discovery event of the year.My especial thanks to the Scientific Committee, led by Peter Simpsonand Del Trezise, for the fantastic programme that they have put together,all the vendors who make this event possible and the ELRIG committeemembers for their support throughout the year.

I also would like to thank you for your attendance and continuingsupport for ELRIG and all it stands for.

Have a wonderful meeting!

SLAS provides forums foreducation and information exchange to encourage the study of andadvance laboratory science and technology for the drug discovery,agrochemical, biotechnology, chemical, clinical diagnostic, consumerproduct, energy, food, forensic, pharmaceutical, security and otherindustries.

SLAS works hard to deliver tangible educational programs and servicesto its members. Professionals at all levels who actively invest their timeand energy in their SLAS memberships often experience immeasurablereturns on their investments. Those who contribute as volunteers andcommittee members enjoy even greater advantages.

Scientific education, practical information, professional career- building,and valuable networking opportunities can open many doors topersonal and professional success. Acknowledge your role in the uniquefield of laboratory science and technology. Join the only international,non-profit society devoted exclusively to your best interests. Join SLAStoday at www.slas.org.

The meeting features the most extensive poster session Drug Discoveryhas held to date – do take the time to peruse these posters and question theposter presenters. To whet your appetite, there will be poster taster talksincorporated in each session, also several poster competitions.

Drug Discovery 2013 is proud to host an extensive exhibition for DrugDiscovery products and services, where you can find new and excitingtechnologies to enable your own discovery success. This exhibitionincorporates a thriving Innovation Zone for new companies promoting newtechnologies to the market.

In developing the program for this meeting, ELRIG is placed at the centreof the European Drug Discovery community, with the objective of bringingtogether scientists from across the field, whether they are based in academia,the pharmaceutical, or biotech industries. We hope the opportunity to mixand mingle in the 8 Science Tracks, exhibition hall, poster area, and drinksreception will enable you to meet colleagues and collaborators old and newand to establish new partnerships that will advance the science of drugdiscovery.

As in past years, registration and attendance at the show is FREE – we canonly do this because of the support of our sponsors and exhibitors. We are verygrateful to the army of volunteers who make ELRIG Drug Discovery a success –from Session chairs, to Poster Session organisation, conference set-up andmembers of ELRIG committee. Also we would like to acknowledge thededicated service of Terry Wood as outgoing ELRIG chairman and welcomeSanj Kumar who has taken over as Chairman this year.

This is our first year organizing the program for this conference, steppinginto the shoes of Steve Rees and Adrian Kinkaid who have been key to thedelivery of many years of great ELRIG Drug Discovery conferences. As theProgram Chairs for the 2013 show, we would like to thank everyone who hascontributed to past Drug Discovery events and to helping us with theorganisation of this year’s program - especially Jackie Howard and DermotBoylan of ELRIG without whom these meetings simply would not happen.We hope you will find it a stimulating and enjoyable event that you willreturn to in future years.

Drug Discovery 2014 will be in Manchester on 2nd & 3rd September2014 - so please make a date in your diary!

Best regards,

Closing Debate in Charter 1

The changing Landscape of Drug Discovery in Europe

Key topics:• Will the future of European drug discovery be led by

academia rather than Pharma?• Can Pharma work together effectively in a

pre-competitive manner? & is this a good thing?• How can academics best work with Pharma to benefit

both sides?• How can we find the best target ideas across Europe,

and turn them into new medicines?• Who should fund drug discovery? Pharma,

government, charities?• What will/should the European drug discovery sector

look like in 5 years' time?

Panel: Peter Simpson, Kevin Johnson, Peter Nussbaumer,Chas Bountra
