New approaches in medicinal chemistry 2021

Synopsis

This two-afternoon symposium will showcase novel approaches to drug design from both academic and industrial perspectives. Themed sessions will highlight topics such as the value of properties and metrics in drug design, hit-finding with photoaffinity-based tools and the development of modern protein degraders. There will be a session detailing structurally informed approaches including CryoEM and NMR, and COVID Moonshot will describe an open-access antiviral drug discovery project. The meeting will then culminate in a panel discussion addressing challenges in the field and questions from the audience.
