Events & Training for June 2015

16th Annual Drug Discovery Summit

08 June 2015 - 09 June 2015

For the past two years our Discovery Chemistry & Drug Design Congress has proved a popular addition to the summit. This year our Congress will feature key discovery chemistry case studies, including novel tools for PPI targeting such as NMR and SPR. Presentations will also cover novel computational tools for drug design, DMPK considerations in lead optimisation and how to build increasing molecular complexity into drug design.
