Title:
Novel aspects of the function of non-inflammasome NLRs in immunity

Host: Andrea Puhar, MIMS and Dept of Molecular Biology

Place: Betula, Bldg 6M, NUS

The symposium is organized jointly by the Medicinal Chemistry Section of the Swedish Pharmaceutical Society and ENABLE, one of the projects in the Innovative Medicines Initiative ND4BB, to showcase future opportunities for antibiotic drug discovery in a stimulating environment. It is also designed to provide plenty of opportunities to meet other delegates, renew friendships and foster new contacts.

Please circulate this information widely in your networks.

Who should attend:
This symposium should be highly interesting for scientists, and representatives from SMEs and the pharmaceutical industry working in the field of antibacterial drug discovery. The aims are to look into the future, at where and how new antibiotics will be discovered, and to discuss the challenges that need to be addressed in developing them. The lectures will be given by leading international scientists in the field. There will also be a poster session where we encourage scientists and company representatives to present and pitch their latest
antibacterial research.

Topics
The following will be covered:

• Finding new chemical entities for antibacterials
  (Karen Bush, USA; Gerry Wright, Canada; Roger Linington, Canada)
• Alternatives to traditional antibiotics
  (Mike Pucci, USA; Bob Hancock, Canada)
• Gram negative antibacterial entry
  (Malcolm Page, Switzerland; Mike Dawson, UK)
• Antibacterial resistance
  (Fernando Baquero, Spain; Tim Walsh, UK; Patrice Courvalin, France)
• Economics and policy of antibacterial drug discovery & development
• Industry experience of developing antibiotics
  (Steve Baker, USA; Erin Duffy, USA; Ruben Tommasi, USA)

There will also be a poster session and we welcome abstracts for consideration.
