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.

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- Audrey Delmas (Laboratoires Servier): Translational inputs on the first-in-human study of PRS-344/S095012, a PD-L1x4-1BB antibody-Anticalin fusion protein (Mabcalin) : integration of PK, ADA, BMK and molecular imaging to understand adverse events
2- Nielka Van Erp (Radboud University Medical Center): The use of biomarkers to guide oncolytic treatment decisions
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

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)
