Overview

SELECTBIO is pleased to announce Academic Drug Discovery 2016, which will be held on 22 - 23 March 2016 in Cambridge, UK. The event is part of our Cambridge Workshop Series. 

Attracting a global audience of researchers, academics, group leaders, directors and the global heads of leading academic and open innovation drug discovery centres, this event will explore the current challenges and opportunities faced in academic drug discovery. 

In recent years pharmaceutical companies have moved away from conducting early-stage preclinical research in-house and are instead partnering with academic institutions to pursue programmes around emerging targets. This has resulted in significant opportunities for academic-based drug discovery and development centres. 

If you work in drug discovery research you will benefit from the expert knowledge and insights provided by academic and industry leaders who are successfully demonstrating models of collaborative drug discovery. 

Agenda Topics

  • Fragment Based Drug Discovery
  • Models For Success
  • New Lead Identification
