Better Leads, Better Drugs - Innovation in Screening Libraries
08 May, 2019 - 09 May, 2019
Description: -Event Synopsis-
The Academic Drug Discovery Consortium invites you to hear about the latest ideas in small-molecule library development at, Better Leads, Better Drugs: Innovations in Screening Libraries.
Scientists engaged in drug discovery and chemical biology know that a screen is only as good as the molecules that go into it. But with the vast potential chemical space, how do you decide what to include in your virtual, high-throughput, or fragment-based screens? This event will bring together drug-seekers from academia and industry focused on the application of new technologies and computational tools to tackle this question in order to deliver higher quality leads.
This 1.5-day meeting will create a dynamic, interactive environment for presentations and discussion, and also includes a -day networking session for one on one partnering meetings between participants.
-Exhibition and sponsorship-
An exhibition will take place alongside the conference during refreshment breaks for companies and related organisations who may wish to exhibit. For further information and prices, please email Jayshree Mistry (email below).
Note: Spaces are limited so early application to secure space for your stand is recommended.
-Posters-
Posters are encouraged. Relevant topics include chemical methodology for library synthesis, design of innovative chemical libraries using computational and experimental approaches, and case studies demonstrating the value of a designed library. Please submit a one-page abstract to Jayshree Mistry (email below) by 15th March 2019 with" Better drugs, Better leads - poster abstract" in the subject line.
