Join the community advancing academic drug discovery

Connect with drug discovery centers, scientists, and partners across academia and industry.

ADDC brings together the people who run academic drug discovery centers and everyone who works with them: medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, screening and assay scientists, trainees, and industry partners. Membership puts you in the directory, gives you member pricing on our colloquium and webinars, and opens the door to resources and volunteer roles that shape the field.
