How to discover new medicines? Our speaker, Israel Ramos, will give a practical overview about how the pharmaceutical industry designs and runs early drug discovery programs. Drug discovery programs start from target discovery until the selection of a drug candidate—a small molecule ready to enter pre-clinical phases.

He will also provide practical tips on how to design and perform a screening cascade for your targets, taking into account features such as compound efficacy, safety, absorption, metabolism, among others.

Key points addressed during the talk:

  • Drug discovery and screening design.
  • Screening cascade and Critical Path.
  • Go / No go decisions.
  • Practical tips and key words in industry to apply to your project.

If you want to find out how to run a screening assay for your target and design critical paths to advance your compounds, this workshop is for you!
