This webinar will focus on aspects related to PROTAC discovery and chemistry workflows, such as ligand finding strategies, synthesis optimization, and linker design. Successful development of bifunctional molecules requires a deep understanding of multiple processes, including biophysical events which dictate induced proximity and how technologies such as DNA-encoded libraries (DEL) can be leveraged to identify …Read More >

This webinar will focus on PROTAC biology workflows, such as in vitro screening assays, in vivo testing, and optimization of DMPK properties. Topics will include the best use of biochemical assays to measure binary/ternary complex formation, cell-based assays to assess target engagement and degradation, strategies for enhancing drug delivery and formulation, and PK/PD evaluation of …Read More >

Challenging targets, such as membrane proteins or protein-protein interactions were considered undruggable in the past. However, today a variety of screening methods can be used to help develop drugs against these formerly undruggable targets.
