Innovations in Drug Design

The pharma industry needs to maximize profits through accelerated development of successful drug candidates — but this process is hindered due to lack of new targets, as well as complex formulation issues related to solubility, bioavailability, metabolic half-life and side effects.

Fortunately, recent improvements in computational and medicinal chemistry have allowed a new generation of experts to identify and design drugs that were out of reach only a few years ago. ExL Events’ Innovations In Drug Design Forum helps set best practice in order to reduce failed leads, encourage new target and compound research areas, and improve access to cutting-edge techniques.
