New Approach Methodologies in Drug Discovery from a Safety and Efficacy Perspective
Colloquium
We warmly invite you to our "New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) in Drug Discovery from a Safety and Efficacy Perspective" Colloquium Event. Experts will be discussing on preclinical stages of potential therapeutic molecules, key challenges in early stages of drug development and how to overcome these challenges with NAMs, the balance between safety and efficacy in translation to clinical phases, and finally the role of regulatory authorities in this translation process. The event will take place in İzmir on 20th of November, 2026. Attendence is limited, we advise you to secure your seats quickly!
