Drug Discovery and Medicinal Chemistry Principles, Strategies, and Case Studies

The focus of this workshop is building an understanding of foundational principles and strategies that can be applied by medicinal chemists in the pursuit of novel drugs. The latest principles in lead generation, hit to lead, lead optimization, pharmacokinetic enhancement, and computational chemistry/machine learning will be explored. This seminar is organized in a workshop format, allowing for close interaction between practicing medicinal chemists and participants. Interactive sessions will query participants knowledge of learned concepts and allow them to share their work in poster format.
