| ISN Nexus Symposium on the New Era of Drug Discovery and Clinical Trials in Kidney Disease, to be held in Bergamo, Italy on April 3-6, 2014. 
 Abstract Submissions Deadline: January 6, 2014
 Early Registration Deadline: January 27, 2014
 
 We are very excited about this program, which will bring together scientists in academia and the pharmaceutical sector, clinicians and regulators, to define new frameworks towards efficient drug discovery and clinical trials in kidney disease.
 We are especially pleased to announce that three major regulatory agencies – the FDA, the EMA and the PDMA – will be represented at the symposium, with speakers from all three giving what promises to be fascinating talks.
 The Program pillars for his symposium are:
 Target validation and rationale behind drug discovery
 Efficient, exploratory first-in-human clinical trials for renal drugs
 Global networking of clinical trials
 New framework of collaboration between academia, pharma and government/regulatory authorities
 
 Topical highlights will include:
 New targets relevant to kidney disease
 Unmet medical needs
 Target validation
 Advancement of drug discovery technologies
 Exploratory clinical trials
 Surrogate biomarkers
 Molecular imaging
 Monitoring of renal toxicity
 Clinical sessions
 Clinical end-points
 Protocols of clinical trials
 
 The number of newly approved drugs continue to decrease despite a growing number of kidney patients. This Nexus symposium will provide cutting-edge lectures on recent advances in drug discovery and clinical trials kidney disease.
 For the most up-to-date information on this Nexus Symposium we encourage you to visit http://www.isnnexus.org/bergamo on a regular basis
 We hope to see you in Bergamo, to make this symposium a success, and to help us advance kidney care around the world.
