Drug Discovery Webinar 2020 - Scholars Webinar on: The Role of New Technologies Drug Discovery, Development and Lead Optimization

As the need for more targeted drug therapies has increased and drug development has become more complex, the industry has seen a corresponding rise in the number of molecules with low solubility challenges. In light of this challenge, drug development experts must look to new technologies and methods to proactively address the challenges and ensure effective treatments are reaching patients in need.
The Drug Discovery, Development and Lead Optimization Webinar brings together experts in medicinal chemistry, structure-based drug design, computational chemistry, emerging drug targets, and novel technology platforms. The webinar is extremely interactive with enthusiastic question and answer sessions following each talk. This meeting remains unique with respect to the breadth of participants and focus on new approaches to discovering drugs. With large pharma reducing investment in internal early stage research, drug pipelines will increasingly be filled by alternative sources. These players include: government, academic labs, non-profits, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical “open innovation” models.
