It is our great pleasure to announce the "2nd International Conference on Drug Discovery and Therapy" (2nd ICDDT 2010) to be held in Dubai, UAE, from February 1st-4th, 2010. The 2nd ICDDT 2010 will highlight cutting-edge advances in all major disciplines of Drug Discovery and Drug Therapy. This four-day event will feature recent findings from leading industrial, clinical and academic experts in the field, in the form of lectures and posters. The 2nd ICDDT 2010 will be unique in promoting the translational nature of modern biomedical research, with an equal number of speakers/participants those who are basic scientists in drug discovery and those who are medical doctors associated with direct patient care and research. Several Nobel laureates have also shown a keen interest in attending the conference and plan to deliver keynote lectures.

The 2nd ICDDT 2010 will provide a forum for in-depth assessment of the challenges involved in the dynamic and fast moving field of biomedical research. It will bring together leading clinicians, medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, biotechnologists, and other allied professionals to discuss and present the latest important developments in drug discovery and therapeutics.
The ‘1st International Conference on Drug Design and Discovery’ was held in Dubai from February 4th - 7th, 2008. Eleven Nobel laureates and more than 850 international delegates participated in this event! It was an outstanding success by all accounts.
