Welcome to the preliminary
announcement of BioMedical Transporters 2005, entitled
“Membrane Transporters: Bridging
Basic and Applied Sciences”. The conference will
be held from August 14 to 18, 2005, in St. Gallen ,
Switzerland , just east of Zürich (near Lake Constance)
at the OLMA Congress Center . St. Gallen is easily
accessible from the Zürich airport by train or
car. There will be a group excursion to beautiful
Mount Säntis that includes a gondola ride and dinner at
the Panorama Restaurant. The target size of the
conference is 200-250 participants. Sufficient
free afternoon/evening time has been incorporated into
the schedule, offering attendees a unique opportunity to
interact with one another both socially and within the
scientific program.
The focus of BioMedical
Transporters 2005 is on membrane transporters and their
applications to the treatment of human diseases.
Specifically, the conference will address how
transporters may be applied to drug discovery, how the
structural information from membrane transporters can be
applied to the rational design of therapeutic drugs, how
to develop transporter based high throughput screening
assays for drug discovery, and how transporters in
various organs affect drug metabolism.
