Kinase 2018: towards new frontiers - 8th SCI / RSC symposium on kinase inhibitor design

Organised by:

SCI's Fine Chemicals Group and RSC's Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector

Cambridge

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis
With more than 25 FDA-approved small molecules, the field of kinase inhibition continues to attract significant investment from the drug discovery and development community. The 8th SCI / RSC symposium on kinases will encompass case studies of ongoing programmes as well as successful past programmes. A range of topics including CNS kinase inhibitors, allosteric inhibitors and non-oral delivery methods will be covered, along with views and perspectives on the future of kinase inhibitor research.
Attendees
This event is aimed at all scientists interested in furthering their knowledge of kinases. It will also have wider appeal to members of the drug discovery community eager to understand how enzyme inhibitor programmes are approached and executed across the pharmaceutical industry.
