SUMMARY:Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases
DESCRIPTION:SMi’s 3rd Annual Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases Conference will be held October 21-22\, 2014 in London\, United Kingdom. \nThe Orphan Drugs market is set to rise as a result of pharmaceutical companies increasingly looking to orphan drugs as an essential revenue stream. As of January 2014\, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) lifted the restriction on providing fee reductions to large companies developing new orphan drugs and the Early Access to Medicines Scheme was introduced. Key implementation of this will be a factor into further commercialization and developments. \nWith collaboration being a key topic of discussion\, the conference will enable all those involved to discuss Market Access\, Pricing and Reimbursement\, Patient Engagement and Recruitment\, with an insight into Regulatory Requirements. \nSMi are providing a platform for all stakeholders\, inclusive of small biotechs\, pharmaceutical companies\, patient advocacy organizations\, researchers and regulators to share perspectives and expertise to drive the field of Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases forward. \nFeatured speakers at the event include: \n\nBertram Häussler\, Chairman of the Board of Management\, IGES Institut\nCamille Metais\, Associate Director\, Regulatory Affairs Manager\, Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc.\nChristopher Hart\, Information Practice Leader\, AstraZeneca\nDario DiSimone\, Sr. Director\, Head of Rare Disease Europe\, Pfizer\nDidier Caizergues\, Director\, Department of International Regulatory Affairs\, GENETHON\nDominic Nutt\, Director of Communications\, M&C Saatchi\nEmily Crossley\, Patient Representative\, Duchene Children’s Trust\nGunter Harms\, Market Access & Public Affairs Director\, Shire Pharmaceuticals\nIan Hudson\, CEO\, MHRA\nJosie Godfrey\, Associate Director\, Highly Specialized Technologies\, NICE\nProfessor Sir Peter Lachmann\, Emeritus Professor of Immunology\, University of Cambridge\nTim Miller\, President and CEO\, Abeona Therapeutics\nTony Hall\, Co-Founder\, Findacure Foundation\n\nPlease visit SMI’s Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases website for more information and to register. \nGlobal Biodefense is an official media partner of SMi’s Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases 2014 conference.
