Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 4th Annual
Lead Generation Strategies
From Many Small-Molecule Hits to Select High-Quality Drug Leads: Applying Biophysical Tools and Other New Approaches
September 17-18, 2020
This conference focuses on how discovery chemists choose which compounds to optimize into drug leads from the many small-molecule compounds that arise from combining newer hit-finding strategies, such as encoded libraries, fragment-based drug design (FBDD),
and biophysical screening approaches with classical high-throughput screens. At CHI’s Lead Generation Strategies conference, join drug discovery colleagues from pharma, biotech, and academia to discuss new biophysical techniques and hear case
studies on applying orthogonal approaches for converting screening hits to leading drug candidates.
Who should attend: Biophysical Chemists, Medicinal Chemists, Discovery Biologists, Chemical Biologists, Structural Biologists, Computational Chemists in Biotech, Pharma, Academia.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Advances in biophysical approaches: SPR, NMR, mass spectrometry, thermal shift assays, microscale thermophoresis, and more
- Fragment-based lead discovery (FBLD)
- DNA-encoded libraries
- Integrating drug leads from various screens
- Targeted protein degradation strategies for lead generation
- Protein-protein interactions as drug targets
- Applying chemical biology and chemoproteomics to drug lead generation
