6th Annual Drug Repositioning, Repurposing and Rescue Conference

6th Annual Drug Re positioning, Re purposing and Rescue Conference is organized by Arrowhead Publishers and would be held during Jun 27 - 28, 2017 at Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.

A central focus at this year's event will be the use of re purposing to find and develop new therapies for rare diseases. Many rare diseases and disorders are serious conditions with no approved treatments. There is thus significant unmet needs for patients. The pharmaceutical industry has become engaged in a greater effort to develop drugs for these "orphan" indications. The FDA has supported this effort via various special protocols as well. There is a growing amount of evidence which suggests re purposing or re positioning research can greatly aid in the development of drugs for rare diseases. By using a more systematic approach, existing compounds are being tested for both common and neglected diseases faster and with more success.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
