Join WuXi AppTec at the 21st Annual Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference in San Diego. We are excited to feature three scientific presentations and four posters at this year’s meeting, showcasing our integrated solutions for targeted protein degradation, peptide drug discovery, and biophysical screening.

At WuXi AppTec, we provide fully integrated drug discovery solutions to accelerate hit identification, lead optimization, and candidate selection. From targeted protein degraders and molecular glues to DNA-encoded libraries and peptide discovery platforms, our capabilities are designed to help innovators like you advance complex modalities with efficiency and scientific rigor. Our team will be available to discuss strategies to enable and accelerate your small molecule, degrader, and peptide programs.

Stop by Booth 113 to get your questions answered by one of our experts!
