Thomson Reuters, in association with CERCA, is
proud to host a workshop (jornada) entitled BESTIN-CLASS INFO TOOLS TO SUPPORT DISEASE AND
DRUG RESEARCH IN CATALONIA
We invite you to join us to learn how our
collaboration could support your goals in Life
Sciences research.
For example: How can MetaCore accelerate your
disease research with
• High quality systems biology content and
tools to help you analyse and understand
experimental findings (Omics data) in the context
of validated biological pathways
• A more complete molecular understanding of
disease and drug responses
• Generating new hypotheses around novel
targets, biomarkers, mechanisms of action for:
Drug target identification
Drug repositioning
Patient stratification
Program
09:00 Registration and Welcome
10:00 User presentation by Jordi Quintana,
Drug Discovery Platform, PCB
10:20 Use of Thomson Reuters tools in a Drug
Repositioning project

12:00 A unique approach to populating our
databases: the Editorial perspective
12:15 Q&A with all speakers
For your drug research programmes, how can the
biology, medicinal chemistry and pharmacology
data in Integrity increase your chance of success?
• Prioritise research activities with evaluation
of pharmacokinetic and pharmacological data
from compounds which have been successful –
and those which have failed
• Demonstrate commercial awareness /
viability in your research to secure funding
• Validate hypotheses with drug, chemistry,
pharmacology, PK and biomarker content
We are proud that Barcelona is our new hub for
Life Science resources, and hope that you and/or
your research colleagues will join us.
