Overview

Welcome to the Fragment Binding Lead Discovery track of the Discovery Chemistry Congress and exhibition. This year's event will be held in Munich, Germany.

With an initial delay in the pursuit of this field, over the past decade it has continued to gain momentum throughout the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Following its increasing popularity and a number of exciting breakthroughs, this conference will provide clients with information on the latest sensitive detection techniques and detailed stages of fragment-based lead discovery, notably NMR.

Other conference tracks at this event include Target Protein - Protein Interactions, Formulation & Solubility and Chemical Biology. Registered delegates will have access to all four meetings ensuring a very cost-effective trip.
