SSM11 Summer School in Medicines

SSM11 offers a unique 50-hour training program on drug discovery, development and market access under a multicultural sponsorship in the wonderful setting of Montreal, Quebec. Make plans now for one full week of lively presentations and direct interactions with the Faculty, including Case Studies and Workshops with Industry, covering the whole value chain of medicines, from “idea to market”. SSM11 Faculty members are leaders in their field and contribute to create one of the most innovative and focused programs in drug discovery & development currently offered.

Opening Note

Dear participants to SSM11,

On behalf of the Université de Montréal, it’s a real pleasure for me to welcome you at this 11th edition of the Summer School of medicines. We’re honoured to organize this summer school in collaboration with three of our privileged international academic partners, the University of Barcelona and Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse and University of Sao Paolo (Brazil).

For several years now, this summer school has represented an important international outreach for us in our mission to train the next generation of scientists in the biopharmaceutical sector. U de Montreal is the 2th largest research U in Canada, with more than 62 thousands students attending, and over 400M Euro in research funding each year. In North America, the region of Montreal is ranked 10th among the major hubs of Biopharmaceutical research. Of the sixinnovative medicines ever developed in Canada and approved by the American FDA, four were developed in the region of Montreal.

Drug discovery is serious business. It has impact on economics, politics, ethics and most importantly on people. Patients who suffer from diseases we don’t yet fully understand. As you will appreciate this week, developing new drugs that are safe and effective is one of the most difficult challenges facing mankind. It involves science, lots of it, in so many different fields that nobody can do it alone in his or her lab. We need specialists that can see the big picture and understand the language of other specialists, their challenges and opportunities, from idea to market.

This is why we are here. To give you the larger picture. Because it is an international school, with faculty and students coming from several countries in the European Union and North America, SSM11 is also an opportunity to make contacts and build your network. Do not hesitate to ask questions either after talks or during the general discussions that will follow at the end each day. Several speakers will stay with us after their talk so see this as an opportunity to meet and discuss with them.

We wish you all the best learning experience possible with SSM11.
