Synopsis
Helping you to understand the features and challenges of biology in pharmaceutical research. This tutorial meeting will improve your understanding of your biochemistry and biology colleagues. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and develop deep knowledge. The focus is on your learning and development.
Included are tutorial-style lectures on types of in vitro assays and target selection. There will be case studies applying these learnings to different target classes. Speakers from leading pharmaceutical companies bring a wealth of experience in working cross-discipline. You’ll have plenty of time for questions after the lectures and in our panel session at the end of the day.
This event runs back-to-back with ADMET 2019.
