title: Trends in drug discovery technologies - conference report from MipTec 2006.
abstract: The 9th annual MipTec conference was held in Basel, Switzerland on 8 - 11 May 2006 and was preceded by a preconference including a variety of well-established speakers highlighting various aspects of the drug discovery process from a more general perspective. The main conference was thoughtfully organised into sessions on structure-based drug design, drug discovery processes, drug discovery technologies, pharmacodynamics and biomarkers, and maximising compound value. Here the authors attempt to 'cherry pick' some personal highlights from the many presentations in the sessions.
