Con relación a la mesa redonda “Moléculas que curan, ¿cómo se llega a ellas? Ven y descubrirás el camino” organizada por GlaxoSmithKline I+D dentro del marco de la XV Semana de la Ciencia de Madrid, adjuntamos la invitación a la misma, esperando que sea de su interés.

La actividad constará de cuatro charlas divulgativas impartidas por investigadores de nuestra empresa, y el objetivo es dar una visión muy general y para todos los públicos de los pasos que se siguen para el descubrimiento y desarrollo de un medicamento, desde hit hasta la clínica. Tras las charlas, los asistentes tendrán la oportunidad de participar en una mesa redonda.

Siéntanse libres de extender esta invitación a quienes consideren pudieran estar interesados.

El aforo es limitado, por lo que es necesario que se confirme asistencia respondiendo a este mensaje.
