The Evolving Role of Mass Spectrometry in Drug Discovery
September 16, 2021 | Virtual Event

Website

Mass spectrometry is increasingly playing a central role as a platform to investigate biological pathways, quantify protein abundancies, look for interactions between proteins, and investigate protein modifications in healthy and disease cells. Furthermore our ability to quantify the interactions of small molecules with proteins by mass spectrometry has become mainstream and we now have MS-based lead generation platforms available. The increasing sensitivity and applicability of mass spectrometry to different molecule types has also enabled widespread use for investigating absorption, distribution and metabolism of mew modalities such as antibody drug conjugates and oligonucleotides, becoming a key technique supporting the development of these therapeutics.

In this webinar we will review the state of the art in these main areas:
Mass spectrometry as a tool for target identification and validation, with a focus on proteomics
Small molecule lead generation with mass spectrometry, with a focus on affinity selection mass spectrometry
Distribution, metabolism and pharmacokinetics of new modalities through the application of mass spectrometry
Who Should Attend:
Drug discovery scientists in academia, biotech and the pharmaceutical industry. Chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, DMPK scientists of all levels

Medicinal Chemistry: A Global Perspective

Joint Event by EFMC-YSN and ACSMEDI Young Medicinal Chemists Committee

July 13 @ 05.00pm CEST/11.00am EST/08.00am PDT

The goals of this initiative is to introduce the audience to the key concepts of Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology, to offer them the opportunity to get to know the scientists and hear their stories, and to boost networking opportunities between Europe and North America.

Join us for this 1h30 event, split between a 45' keynote lecture and a 45' round table discussion.

PROGRAMME:

Hit to Lead Process in Drug Discovery
Dr Subharekha Raghavan (Merck & Co, United States)
Round Table Discussion: "The Stories Behind the Medicinal Chemists"
Dr Erika Araujo (Arvinas, United States)
Dr Etienne J. Donckele (Philochem, Switzerland)
Prof. Matthias Gehringer (University of Tübingen, Germany)
Prof. Craig Lindsley (Vanderbilt University, United States)

The Medicinal Chemistry Division (DCF) of Italian Chemical Society (SCI) is glad to invite you to the first “Trends in Medicinal Chemistry Online Symposia” (TIMCOS).

This series of symposia brings together experts in medicinal chemistry synthesis, computational methods in drug design, analytical methods in drug discovery and novel technology platforms. The internationally-renowned speakers will describe how their research journey has developed in response to contemporary challenges: inspirational and innovative lessons in drug research. The symposia will be interactive with questions and answers at the end of each talk.

This meeting remains unique with respect to the breadth of participants and focus on new approaches to discovering drugs.

We are glad to announce the final program of the first symposium:
