title: Trends in drug discovery technologies - meeting highlights from MipTec 2007.
abstract: The 10th anniversary of MipTec, which took place in Basel, Switzerland on 7 - 10 May 2007, demonstrated that this meeting has truly evolved into the leading European event for drug discovery technologies. The rich programme included sessions on drug discovery processes, structure-based drug design, pharmacodynamics and biomarkers, maximizing compound value, drug discovery technologies or emerging absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion/toxicity technologies together with keynote presentations providing the larger picture, an excellent poster session and a well-attended vendor exhibition. In summary, MipTec more than ever provides a much needed hub for scientific exchange and networking within the European drug discovery community.
