Pharmacology and Safety Pharmacology
Speaker: Jean-Pierre Valentin, PhD, HDR, ERT, CBiol, FRCPath, DSP
Registration for Archive is Closed
Topics include: Receptors, targets and off target, constants, consequences (including toxicity), testing, low-level effects, and aspects of interpretation (View Abstract )
About the Expert Speaker: Jean-Pierre Valentin, PhD, HDR, ERT, CBiol, FRCPath, DSP
Jean-Pierre holds a PhD in Physiology and Pharmacology 1990, from the University of Montpellier, France. Following a postdoc at UCSF, Jean-Pierre joined the Pierre Fabre Research Centre (1992–98) where he contributed to the discovery and progression into development of three candidate drugs. He joined AstraZeneca to build from inception, develop and lead the Department of Safety Pharmacology where he contributed to the safety evaluation of ~200 candidate drugs across a wide range of therapy areas, leading to the development and successful registration of several marketed products. In February 2014 he joined UCB-Biopharma as Senior Director Head of Investigative Toxicology, based in Belgium. He is a member of several scientific societies; current Past President of the Safety Pharmacology Society; co-chair of the HESI subcommittee on QT/Arrhythmia, and the ABPI-NC3Rs-Animal Model Framework.

Pharmacokinetics/ADME
Speaker: Gerry Kenna, PhD, FBTS
Registration for Archive is Closed
Topics include: Basic principles of absorption, disposition, excretion, biotransformation, membrane transporters, pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics, and species differences and their role in hazard and risk assessment
About the Expert Speaker: Gerry Kenna, PhD, FBTS
Dr. Gerry Kenna is a Drug Safety Consultant based in Cheshire, United Kingdom. He has extensive experience of safety assessment of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals and of toxicity testing and of mechanisms that underlie human adverse drug reactions, most notably liver toxicity. This was acquired while working as Scientific Director of the Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments; in industry for AstraZeneca, Syngenta and Zeneca; and in academia at Imperial College School of Medicine, London UK; National Institutes of Health, MD USA; King’s College Hospital Medical School, London UK and the National Institute for Medical Research, London UK. Dr. Kenna continues to be actively involved in research on the mechanisms which underlie human adverse drug reactions and on the development and implementation of novel predictive safety screening strategies that take account of metabolic bioactivation, hepatobiliary transporter inhibition and immune responsiveness, plus PBPK-based in vitro/in vivo exposure scaling. He is also committed to implementation of improved human safety testing strategies that reduce, refine and replace a need for procedures on animals. Dr. Kenna received a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Leeds UK and a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of London UK. He has authored or co-authored >100 scientific publications and is a member of the International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics, and a Fellow of the British Toxicology Society.
