Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX), you are warmly invited to join us at the 13th European ISSX Meeting which convenes June 22 - 25, 2015 at the University of Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Meeting Organising Committee has carefully designed the programme to address key research topics including: PBPK Modelling, Stem Cell Technology Developments and their Application to Drug Metabolism and Drug Safety, the Role of Drug Transporters, Epigenomics in Drug Metabolism and Disease, Mass Spectrometry of Small Molecules, and much more. The meeting additionally will feature a wide range of contemporary research topics in the form of poster presentations as well as industry-sponsored educational sessions each morning prior to the general meeting. Complementing the meeting, top suppliers to the scientific community will present their products and services during the meeting exhibition.

The Meeting Organising Committee is particularly keen to encourage new investigators to use this meeting as a platform

to communicate their own research and to further their career progression. New investigators will meet leading researchers while learning, networking, and socialising with other delegates in a friendly yet stimulating environment. Discounted registration fees are available for ISSX members as well as pre- and postdoctoral students. Please visit the meeting web site at www.issx.org/Glasgow for information.

Attendees of the 13th European ISSX Meeting can experience first-hand the charming and vibrant city of Glasgow. There is a diverse array of cultural and entertainment options available along with an excellent dining scene. Supported by a great transportation network, meeting attendees and accompanying guests can take in all that this unique and beautiful city has to offer.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Glasgow for an exciting and educational meeting!

Sincerely, C.R. Wolf, Ph.D., OBE Ann Daly, Ph.D. University of Newcastle Dundee University

SHORT COURSE DESCRIPTIONSSHORT COURSE 1: MASS SPECTROMETRY IN DRUG METABOLISM STUDIES Chairs: Neil Kitteringham, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK and Ian Wilson, Imperial College, London, UK Early determination of metabolic stability and metabolic fate of compounds in drug discov-ery is seen as a key part of ensuring that compounds are only selected for further studies if they have properties that make them suitable for future development. The use of LC-MS is now ubiquitous by discovery teams to determine the pharmackokinetics, metabolic stability and the metabolic fate of drug candidates. This short course will illustrate how LC-MS is used to detect and identify metabolites, highlight metabolic “hot spots,” identify com-pounds with reactive metabolite liabilities, and enable structure optimization.

Short Course 2: Stem Cell Derived Tissues in Toxicology Chairs: Chris Goldring, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK and Matt Wright, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UKCurrent preclinical drug testing does not predict some forms of adverse drug reactions in humans. Adhering to the principles of the 3Rs, efforts at improving predictability of drug-in-duced tissue injury in man have included using stem cell technology to generate human cells for screening for adverse effects of drugs in man. This short course will explain the background to this area, why stem cells may be useful tools in the assessment tool-box to predict basic cellular perturbation, what we need from the cells, how to compare them with their terminally-differentiated human counterparts and what techniques are used to carry out this phenotyping. Real-world examples of how cells differentiated from stem cells are being deployed to investigate drug/chemical toxicity will be described. Four senior researchers in this field will present a background, and the following organ systems will be discussed in detail: liver, heart, and kidney.

Short Course 3: Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic ModellingChairs: Geoff Tucker, Simcyp Limited, Sheffield, UK and Brian Houston, University of Manchester, Manchester, UKThe application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling has come of age in drug development and regulation, reflecting significant advances over the past 20 years in the predictability of key pharmacokinetic parameters from human in vitro data, especially with respect to drug-drug interactions, and the availability of dedicated software platforms and associated data bases. This course will provide an understanding of the basic principles of in vitro – in vivo extrapolation; key issues will be illustrated with specific case studies, and the special considerations necessary to extend PBPK modelling to pre-dict paediatric drug doses will be explained. The current status of regulatory acceptance of simulations based on PBPK modelling will be discussed.

Short Course 4: New Horizons in Mass Spectrometry Chairs: Andy Pitt, Aston University, Birmingham, UK and Neil Kitteringham, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UKThis short course aims to provide an overview of the exciting, new, and innovative applica-tions for mass spectrometry in the study of xenobiotics and their interactions with proteins. The interface between small molecules and biological macromolecules is at the heart of both drug efficacy and xenobiotic toxicity—mass spectrometry offers the perfect platform to explore this interface. The first three talks explore different approaches to deploy mass spectrometry within this context, whilst the final talk addresses the thorny issue of dealing with large data sets from both metabolomics and proteomic studies.

SOCIAL PROGRAMOpening Welcome Reception

Start the meeting at the Opening Welcome Reception in the exhibition and poster area of the Technology and Innovation Centre on Monday, June 22. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks while you meet with our meeting exhibitors and fellow attendees. Included with full meeting registration and guest ticket purchase.

Civic Reception

The Glasgow City Council would like to welcome ISSX to Glasgow with a Civic Reception on Tuesday, June 23 at 18:30. This unique event will be held in the prestigious surroundings of the City Chambers in the Picture Gallery. The Lord Provosts of the City will be in attendance to greet delegates and welcome you to Glasgow. The City Chambers is in the very heart of Glasgow and is one of the city’s most important and prestigious buildings. A grand and imposing edifice overlooking George Square, the City Chambers is an impressive symbol of Glasgow’s political strength and historical wealth. Completed in 1888, the City Chambers has for over 100 years been the headquarters of successive councils serving the City of Glasgow.

Complimentary - Advanced registration required.

Meeting Dinner and Ceilidh

Join us at the premier social event of the meeting at the Old Fruit Market of Glasgow which has kept all of its period charm, including its lofty vaulted roof, cast iron columns, balcony, and slender Victorian architecture. Attendees will enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, drinks, and a ceilidh. The word ceilidh (kay-lee) descended from the Gaelic word for “gathering” or “party”… However, these days when people think of a ceilidh, they think of a fun filled night of dancing, good music, and great company! The beauty of a ceilidh is that everyone can take part. You will be walked through the steps under the watchful eye of the professional caller who will be with you every step of the way – walking you through the moves before each dance and continuing to call out helpful hints throughout the rest of the dances. It is sure to be a wonderful time.

Make plans to join us at the Old Fruit Market on Wednesday, June 24.

Separate registration fee applies.
