On behalf of the Organizing Committee, 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. Two Nobel laureates will deliver keynote lectures at the conference.  

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.
