Welcome to APA - India 2010

February 21-24, 2010

Hyderabad International Conference Center

Due to its inherent goal to provide medicines to people, the pharmaceutical industry has been considered "global" in terms of markets, manufacturing, and sales. However, with the changing economic and political landscape over the past few years, there has been a significant interest and noted effort to conduct more pharmaceutical discovery and development activities throughout the world, especially in India. This has obviously presented numerous opportunities and challenges to the industry that are being addressed in different ways.

The goal of this inaugural APA conference is to bring together scientists from across India and the rest of the world to discuss and assess the current state of pharmaceutical research and development in the areas of Discovery and Regulated Bioanalysis, Biotransformation, Process Chemistry, and New Technologies as applied to the Indian Pharmaceutical industry.

This conference presents a great opportunity to establish a global community of practice specifically focused on the challenges facing scientists involved in the pharmaceutical industry today.
