What the conference speakers are saying:

"AstraZeneca has a strong heritage in oncology spanning more than 30 years of discovering and developing innovative medicines. Throughout our history, we have always placed great value on maintaining strong alliances with leading academic centers of excellence, biotech, pharmaceutical companies and other collaborators. Targeted partnering conferences such as this, provide an important forum to meet and talk with potential partners who share our commitment for discovering and developing new therapeutics which can hopefully make a meaningful difference for patients confronting cancer."
Dr Kay Tait, AstraZeneca

At GSK our vision is to constantly strive to improve the quality of life for people throughout the world - it is the cornerstone of everything we do. In oncology, we are at the forefront of the 'bench to bedside' approach, transforming the way that cancer treatments are discovered and developed, resulting in one of the most robust pipelines in the oncology sector.
Our researchers continue to explore new and evolving scientific frontiers and we are fully committed to the research and development of innovative oncology products that will make profound differences in the lives of patients with cancer. This is underscored by the formation last year of our Oncology Research and Development Organisation which has given us a unique, dedicated oncology R&D resource to help us increase the breadth and depth of our core oncology knowledge and expertise.
This conference offers an important opportunity for the UK and Nordic pharma industries to share knowledge and gain a real understanding of the oncology research, clinical development and commercial potential in the Nordic region.
Dr Thierry Le Chevalier, GlaxoSmithKline
