Welcome Note

Welcome to the 2012 MipTec - the premier European Drug Discovery Event!

This year, MipTec will again take place at the Congress Center Basel, providing a focal point for the Scientific Sessions, User Group Meetings, and, of course, the vendor show.

The meeting will continue its focus on drug discovery, and also add a new scientific session on Synthetic Biology. We are also pleased that MipTec will continue to host User Group Meetings, on both new and returning topics.

Because our participants are committed to staying at the frontier of drug discovery knowledge and application, this year we have also arranged the session to enable attendance at both the MipTec chemistry session, and the EMBL Chemical Biology Meeting.

MipTec 2012 will continue the structure of previous meetings, with free registration (at www.miptec.com), so please attend

MipTec is the premier European conference and exhibition encompassing innovative approaches to high quality science and technology for efficient drug discovery.

The mission of MipTec is to bring together scientists from all disciplines involved in drug discovery within pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic labs and technology providers in an atmosphere, where ideas and experiences are shared and discussed. This atmosphere is created through a scientific program covering key topics and the latest breakthroughs in the diverse fields that make up drug discovery.
