Assays & Cellular Targets

分析、篩選(screening)、以及標靶相關最具信賴信之活動！

ACT 2008將焦點置於分析、篩選之進歩、GPCR、蛋白激脢(protein kinase)、離子通道(ion channel)藥劑標靶等，最新且最具潛力之研究主題，參加本會議將有機會與世界知名學者進行交流，共同分享尖端知識等，是一個前所未見之國際性活動。

本會議包含以下四個主題

離子通道標靶(Ion Channel)	G蛋白連接接受器(G Protein-Coupled Receptor)
蛋白激脢標靶(Protein Kinase Targets)	分析及篩選之進歩(Assay & Screening Advances)

在這3日的會議期間，邀請來自產業界及學術界之知名研究學者，進行75場次以上之研究發表，此外，更將有機會與超過200名之同業專家，進行交流，建構良好關係。

Opening Keynotes:

	The Challenges of Ion Channel Drug Discovery - Case Studies Greg Kaczorowski, Ph.D., Senior Director, Ion Channel Department, Merck Research Laboratories
	G-Protein Coupled Receptors in 2008: Rethinking What We Thought We Knew Paul A. Insel, M.D., Professor of Pharmacology & Medicine, Director, Medical Scientist Training Program, University of California, San Diego
