Welcome to the ASCEPT-PAGANZ 2019 Joint Scientific Meeting
On behalf of the Program Committee, we invite you to attend the ASCEPT- PAGANZ 2019 Joint Scientific Meeting to be held at Rydges Lakeland Resort, Queenstown, New Zealand from 25 – 29 November 2019.
The theme for this meeting is: Shared horizons: Optimising drug response to improve patient outcomes
We anticipate that there will be approximately 300 attendees at the Meeting from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and the United States. These world-class experts, early career researchers and students are all actively engaged in either academic or industrial pre-clinical and clinical pharmacology.
The Meeting offers the opportunity to network with colleagues and other leading international and national scientists and academics at both social and scientific activities. A key feature of the Meeting is the chance for early career researchers and research students to present their research findings in poster and oral presentations sessions. ASCEPT-PAGANZ annual awards and prizes will also be presented at the Meeting.
The program of plenary lectures, symposia and workshops, oral presentations and posters will be scientifically stimulating and lead to new collaborations and research opportunities.
We hope you will join us in New Zealand in November.
