Please note that in order to reflect that Wyeth is now part of Pfizer, the workshop title has been changed to MMI/Pfizer Workshop -Molecules to Medicines-How Biopharma Delivers

This MMI/Pfizer 1-day workshop, for 24 participants, comprises discussion of key issues arising during biopharmaceutical discovery, development, and manufacturing. It will include breakout group discussion of specially devised problem sets.

This workshop is open to postgraduate students with research experience (e.g. at least one year into their PhD studies). If you are interested in attending this workshop please send an email indicating your interest to education@MolecularMedicineIreland.ie after you have applied online for the lecture course. Attendance at the lecture course on the preceding day (Thu 6 Nov 2009) is compulsory - details are here. The workshop was oversubscribed when it ran last year, so you are advised to apply early.
