What to expect at the Ligase Targeting Drug Development Summit

As recent advances in screening, characterization and validation platforms bring the untapped opportunity of E3 ligases closer to grasp, the Ligase Targeting Drug Development Summit returns with 3 full days of expert insights to address your burning questions:

  • How to improve binding and affinity in the absence of a solved structure?
  • What bottlenecks in technology persist in the identification of tissue and cells-specific ligases?
  • How to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing E3 ligases, including post-translational modifications and interacting partners?
  • How to identify suitable chemical matter starting points with optimized screening strategies for ligase binders?

Uniting 80+ peers from Medicinal Chemistry, Drug Discovery and Biology departments of biopharma, this meeting is your ultimate opportunity to increase the disease targeting space of degrading and modulating drugs and fully unleash their therapeutic benefits for patients in need.
