Advances in Drug Discovery & Development 2023 (Day 1)

This online event is aimed at those working within academia and pharmaceutical drug development, who want to hear from experts across their field. Focus will be given to the latest advances in small molecule drug discovery and development, biopharma and biotechnology.
This online symposium will cover:
Accelerating drug discovery through AI
Molecular dynamics simulations for novel drug targets
Allosteric small-molecule activation of PI 3-kinase for cardioprotection and neuroregeneration
Analytical solutions for challenging nitrosamine quantitation using LC-MS
Screening in organoids and complex 3D assays using high-content imaging
Paucity of novel oncology targets
An interactive Ask-Me-Anything session where you can pose your questions to thought leadership experts at the forefront of biopharmaceutical commerce
