London Genetics' Third Pharmacogenetic Conference is Attracting a Wide Range of High Calibre Speakers

LONDON, June 9, 2011 -

London Genetics Limited, an expert in the use of pharmacogenetics in
clinical drug discovery and development, is pleased to announce that its
third annual pharmacogenetic conference will feature top-level presentations
from players in all parts of the healthcare chain. To be held on 8-9th
November 20111, in Windsor, UK, the theme for this year's conference is
'Stratified Medicine: Making It Happen'. Topical issues will be discussed and
debated with presentations from academia, the FDA, EMA, AstraZeneca,
Novartis, Quintiles, Medco and the Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicine,
UK.

The conference is focused on how stratified medicine is affecting a range
of activities, from reimbursement, prescribing and regulatory approval, to
study design, use of biomarkers, data interpretation and the co-development
of drugs and diagnostics. Consideration will also be given to some of the
ethical issues, with a discussion from Professor Jonathan Wolff, member of
the Nuffield Council on Bioethics Working Party for its recent report,
'Medical profiling and online medicine: the ethics of 'personalised
healthcare' in a consumer age'2.

Dr Elizabeth Foot, CEO of London Genetics, said, 'We are delighted at how
the agenda for London Genetics' third annual pharmacogenetic conference is
developing, and are looking forward to hearing about the latest thinking in
this rapidly evolving area. There was very positive feedback on the quality
of the talks and interactions at last year's conference, and we expect the
2011 event to be just as successful for London Genetics, which has recently
signed a research collaboration with an undisclosed pharmaceutical company.'
