Structure-Based Drug Discovery: The Next 25 Years

Tuesday, May 9, 2017 APS/CNM 2017 Users Meeting Bldg. 402, APS Lecture Hall

REGISTER

Organizers:

Lisa Keefe (IMCA-CAT / Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute)
Barry Finzel (University of Minnesota)

Description:

This symposium will bring together researchers in the pharmaceutical industry and experts in multiple aspects of structural biology to explore strategies that are effective for challenging projects and accelerating drug discovery.

Industry and academic researchers will showcase innovative drug discovery successes, highlight complementary and synchrotron-based techniques, and explore multi-faceted approaches to acquiring protein-ligand structural information.

Attendees will engage in open forum discussions to assess opportunities for incorporating emerging strategies into structural biology research programs.

Following the symposium, there will be a no-host dinner at the Argonne Guest House.
