clinical practice was the focus of one of the key sessions of the EACPT
Congress in Madrid. In this video, Matthias Schwab (Germany), Edoardo
Spina (Italy), Marja-Liisa Dahl (Sweden), Adrián LLerena (Spain) and Ingolf
Cascorbi (Germany) discuss pharmacogenetics in clinical practice from a
healthcare perspective, clinical vs. business need and
pharmacoeconomic evaluation of pharmacogenomics in healthcare systems.

At a well-attended EACPT Congress session, EACPT official journal editor Richard Shader gave a Masterclass to over 80 delegates on how publish a scientific paper.
Listen to Dr Shader discussing Clinical Therapeutics with Donald Singer from the EACPT:
Dr Shader's key messages on scientific writing included
- write clearly - explain why you undertook the work
- describe how you advanced knowledge in the field.
- note further work that would take the field forward - decide title and write abstract last - avoid excessive use of adverbs - use short sentences -
consider use of translation support if English is not your first
language: this should be translation of your own text, NOT ghost
writing More helpful advice for authors The European Association of Clinical Pharmacology
and Therapeutics has Clinical Therapeutics as its
Official Journal, in partnership with the major international publisher
Elsevier.
The journal features highlights of EACPT scientific and other activities and provides information
on future EACPT congresses, summer schools and other events. The journal
also publishes peer-reviewed original papers and reviews arising from EACPT
conferences.

Roseline Ing Lorenzini, Maria Paile-Hyuvarinen, Helina Kahmamarija, Marija Bosilkovska and Flavia Storelli
Watch the video with Clinical Pharmacologists in training from Switzerland and Finland discussing their interests at the EACPT Madrid Congress.
Flavia Storelli obtained a Master’s
Degree (MSc) in Pharmacy in 2013 from the University of Geneva. Since 2014, she has
been a PhD candidate in Clinical Pharmacology at Geneva University Hospitals. Her main interest is the in vitro study of drug-drug interactions regarding
CYP450 enzymes and hepatic transporters in the HepaRG cell line.
Dr Roseline-Kuntheavy Ing Lorenzini has been since 2014 non-MD clinical
pharmacologist. She graduated
as a pharmacist in 2003, then did a MAS (Master of Advanced Studies) in
hospital pharmacy from 2004 to 2006, followed by a PhD thesis in clinical
pharmacology which ended in 2011 on the use of paracetamol
and NSAIDs in combination. She has worked since 2011 as a pharmacist project
manager in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Geneva Hospitals. Her interests are: TDM,
pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactio,ns more particularly in
anti-retroviral therapies.
Helinä Kahma graduated as a pharmacist (MSc Pharm) in 2014 from the University of Helsinki and started her PhD in clinical pharmacology in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki in January this year. Her research topic is drug-drug interactions based on mechanism-based inhibition of CYP450 enzymes. Her main interest is in enzyme- and transporter-based DDIs.

EACPT EC Meeting at University in Kiel
The 12th EACPT Congress in 2015 is an unparalleled
educational forum where you will learn about the newest developments,
innovative techniques,
and advanced practices in topics such as drug discovery,
drug development, pharmacology and pharmacotherapy.
The Congress gives you the unique opportunity to network
with top ranking specialists in pharmacology and pharmacotherapy, from
around the world, and learn from the best. Reviews and commentaries from the Congress will be published in the EACPT Official Journal - Clinical Therapeutics. The Congress will
provide excellent formal and informal networking opportunities, supported after
the Congress through the new website of the EACPT, due to be launched within
the coming month.
There is to be launch
of a new Associate Membership category for the EACPT, included within
registration for the Madrid June 2015 Congress. Associate Members will have
discounts on registration for EACPT Congresses and Focus Meetings, online
access to the official EACPT journal Clinical Therapeutics, and many
opportunities to become directly involved in networking with fellow clinical
pharmacologists from throughout Europe and further afield.
Nominations were
discussed for EACPT Awards to be presented at the 12th EACPT
Congress in Madrid. The EACPT Lifetime Award is for significant
achievement in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, both for the benefit of
science and also for the benefit and health of the specialty, over a whole
working life. The EACPT
Scientific Award is awarded for the best scientific paper on a topic
relevant to clinical pharmacology published by a European clinical
pharmacologist in the two years between EACPT congresses. The EPHAR-EACPT award
is by the Federation of European Pharmacology Societies (EPHAR) and the EACPT -
a joint initiative to award the best work in translational research in
pharmacology. There will be 2 awards of 1,000
€ each, that will be given in 2015 to young scientists who have
published an outstanding research paper in the past two years. There were reports on interaction with other professional organisations
and societies, including the European Medicines Agency, IUPHAR, the
International Union of Pharmacology and EPHAR, the European Federation of
Pharmacology Societies. Plans with EPHAR, in addition to the above awards,
include a joint session on immunopharmacology during the Madrid Congress in
June. Calls were agreed for future EACPT Focus Meetings, with a deadline 31st
May 2015 for bids for summer 2016 and summer 2017. The 2017 meeting will be
