12^th Annual Pharma Middle East Congress Sep 25-26, 2017 Dubai, UAE

Biopharmaceutical Science includes study of the drug discovery and their development, along with their properties, both physical and chemical. It also deals with the biological effects of drug​s like onset and duration of action along with their intensity in the body. Biopharmaceutics help in calculating the bioavailability and therapeutic activity of the drugs in the body.

Pharmacognosy is the investigation of medications obtained from plant and herbal sources. Most pharmacognostic studies concentrate on plants and medications obtained from plants, different sorts of living beings, different types of microorganisms and also from different marine life forms. This session is mainly dealth with presentations on different branches of Pharmacognosy such as Medical Ethnobotany, Ethnopharmacology, Phytotherapy, Phytochemistry, Phytoconstituents, Zoopharmacognosy, Marine Pharmacognosy and many more.

Pharmaceutical chemistry and Medicinal chemistry are Sciences with a combination of chemistry, mainly synthetic organic chemistry and pharmacology. These Sciences are involved with drug design, chemical synthesis and development for pharmaceutical agents market or bio-active molecules. Pharmaceutical Chemistry includes several branches like Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry.

Nanotechnology is being used in the pharmaceutical field for different reasons. The main reason is to improve drug solubility and delivery to various sites for action. Nanotechnology is also used to develop new and improved therapeutic devices. Therapeutics are improved through both the consistent drug delivery, drug targeting and bioavailability of existing medicinal moities, including the discovery of completely new substances and nanomaterials, which brings out different added advantages over classical drug delivery systems, including the targeted delivery to effected sites only, and the improved adsorption, distribution and duration of medication in the body.

Drugs are not simple consumers’ products. In most cases, consumers are not in a position to make any decisions regarding the usage of drugs, which drugs to use, how to use them and to weigh exact benefits without knowing the risk as no medicine is completely safe. Experts’ advice from either prescribers or dispensers is needed in making decisions about their usage. The session include presentations on  Regulations and organizations, implementation of pharmacogenetics in USA,  Clinical Pharmacy Services, Health care management, Drug safety regulations, Drug rediscovery, multiple drug use, Good governance in pharmacy and so on....

Genetics is the Science of genes, genetic variation and heredity living beings. It is generally considered as a field of biology, but it is mostly an Interdisciplinary Science which involves with many of the life sciences and is potentially related with the study of information systems. Biomedical Engineering is the application of Engineering principles and design concepts to drugs and biology for an emerging healthcare Industries like diagnostics and therapeutics. This Science has filled the gap between engineering and medicine: It adds the advantages of the problem solving skills and design of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve health care treatment.

The Science of pharmacy practice develops pharmacists as health professionals with the knowledge, skills and helps in building Pharmacists as responsible citizens for drug utilization and their management, to optimize the health outcomes though medicines. Pharmacy practice deals with the technical aspects of applied pharmacy services, dispensing of drugs and their supply management with patient-centred care through counseling, providing correct drug information and monitoring drug therapy in person.

Preformulation studies are important elements to be considered during the process of drug development research to support development of formulations at different phases of clinical trials. As from the word preformulation the activities that are done before formulation development are called as preformulation studies. It gives the scientific basis for formulation development. This session is concentrated on topics like solubility, dissociation constant, salt formation, partition or distribution coefficient, pH, polymorphism, solubility profile and dissolution kinetics etc.

Clinical pharmacy is the discipline of Pharmacy where pharmacists are meant to provide patient care which helps in optimizing the use of drugs and improves health, wellness, and prevents diseases. This session is dealt with topics like basic components of clinical pharmacy practice Prescribing drugs, Reviewing drug use, Administering drugs, Counseling, Documenting professional services, Consulting, Preventing Medication Errors etc.,

Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry, is a philosophy of chemical research and engineering that encourages the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. As a chemical philosophy, green chemistry applies to organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and even chemical engineering.

Pharmaceutical Microbiology is one of the applied branches of Microbiology. It is the study of microorganisms related with the manufacture of pharmaceuticals like minimizing the microorganisms growth in a processed environment, removing microorganisms and their by-products like endotoxin and exotoxin from water and other materials, and ensuring the finished pharmaceutical product sterility. This session includes discussions on aspects of pharmaceutical microbiology including the research and manufacturing of anti-infective agents, the use of microorganisms to find mutagenic and carcinogenic activity in drugs, and the use of microorganisms in pharmaceutical products manufacturing like insulin and human growth hormone.
