Welcome to 2024 GMP Symposium

Session 1

Replacing and refining in vivo pharmacokinetic experiments

Chairs: C. Amara (Sanofi), F. Gattacceca (COMPO, CRCM, Aix-Marseille university)

This session will explore strategies to replace living animals with virtual equivalents, with more human-relevant in-vitro methods, but also to develop innovative bioanalycal techniques to increase the sensitivity of quantification of protein drugs in plasma and tissues.

1- Vict3R consortium : Coming soon

2- M. Dupré (Sanofi): Coming soon  

Session 2

New modalities of drug administration 

Chairs: S. Klieber (Sanofi), L. Laplanche (Abbvie), C. Troisi (EsQlabs)

Join us to learn more about how to overcome PK challenge of new modalities ((e.g., LNP, radiopharmaceuticals, PROTACs) and how these innovations collectively aim to improve patient outcomes and expand the therapeutic landscape.

1- S. Guerif (Sanofi): Coming soon

2- Z. Fang (Merck Healthcare KGaA): Coming soon

Coffee Break and Poster Session

Session 3

New biomarkers for translational studies 

Chairs: E. Chatelut (Oncopole-Toulouse University), N. Perdaems (Syneos Health), A. Martinez (Toulouse university)

Biomarkers and PK are complementary to understand mechanism of action and adverse effects of biologics. Moreover, use of biomarkers dynamics and PK could significantly reduce the large delay between treatment onset and response. The relation between early biomarker dynamics and anticancer drug PK can be used to individualize anticancer treatment.

1- N. Van Erp (Radboud University Medical Center): Coming soon

2- A. Delmas (Laboratoires Servier): Coming soon

Students Poster Blitz

Chairs: Coming soon

We welcome student abstracts in the field of pharmacology (ADME, PK, PD, PBPK,  DDI). All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the selection committee and chosen  to be part of a poster presentation and short-oral presentation. A “Best Student  presentation” awards will be announced during the GMP Congress 2025. 

The program is open to all students at the Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral levels. Presenters must be present during the congress.

Poster Session & Cocktail

Day 2 – 16th Oct 2025

Session 4

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning shaping the Future of Drug Development

Chairs: O. Nicolas (Sanofi), F. Gattacceca (COMPO, CRCM, Aix-Marseille university), M. Coimbra (Sanofi)

This session is intended to provide insights on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry. PhD students and industrial experts will present some latest advancements and practical applications in AI-driven drug discovery & development shaping the future of healthcare

Session 5

Beyond a Covariate: Towards Sex-Based Drug Development for Women

Chairs: F. Gallais (Pharmetheus), A. Puszkiel (Cochin University Hospital), C. Troisi (ESQlabs), M. Le Merdy (Simulations Plus)

This session explores the critical need to move beyond treating sex as a simple covariate in drug development for women. We will discuss the differences in drug response between sexes, the considerations for drug use during pregnancy and lactation, and the importance of studying sex differences to create more effective and safer medications for women.

1 – P. Annaert (KU Leuven): Coming soon

2- E. Hansson (Pharmetheus): Coming soon

Innovations in Drug Transporters                                                                                                     

Chairs: M. De Sousa Mendes (Certara), O. Nicolas (Sanofi)

Discover the latest advancements in drug transport in this captivating session. We will explore how albumin-mediated drug uptake via organic anion transporters is a reality, and its implications for predicting active renal secretion clearance. Additionally, we will examine the crucial role of pre-incubation in these processes and discuss current and future regulatory perspectives. Join us for an in-depth and interactive discussion on these innovations that could support pharmacokinetic predictions and improve drug developments

1 – S. Neuhoff (Certara): Coming soon

3-D. Scotcher (University of Manchester): Coming soon

One Step Aside

Médicament et philosophie

Chairs: E. Chatelut (Oncopole-Toulouse University), I. Deprez (Certara)
In this presentation, we will explore the current and potential roles of AI in drug R&D and how it redefines the way scientists integrate data generation with technological applications and wet-lab validation. We will deep-dive into the scientific implications, impacts on researchers, and the research process itself. A key question we will address is whether AI represents merely another tool or signifies a more profound shift in scientific inquiry.  

1- Nicolas Martin (former pharmacy intern and journalist at France Culture)
