WCP2014 13-18 July 2014
The section contributed to several symposia in the IUPHAR2014 programme and also held a business meeting during the meeting to elect some new officers and members of the executive board. An important feature of our participation in this meeting involved four symposia which we proposed jointly with the Pharmacogenetics Section. We are grateful to the conference organisers for accepting all four symposia which were each well attended with some interesting discussion between the speakers and the audience.
Details of the symposia were as follows:
(i) Epigenetic regulation of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters chaired by Ingolf Cascorbi with Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg, Ingolf Cascorbi and Matthias Schwab as speakers.
(ii) Pharmacogenetics in infectious disease chaired by Ann Daly with Pedro Gil, Adalberto Santos and Eleni Aklillu as speakers.
(iii) Role of drug transporters in interindividual variations in drug response chaired by Matthias Schwab with Matthias Schwab, Frans Russel and Christoph Funk as speakers.
(iv) Understanding drug-induced liver injury: CYP450 and the immune system chaired by Allan Rettie with James Lewis, Jack Uetrecht and Ann Daly as speakers.
