Å·ÃÀAV

Innovation in Design, Supply and Acquisition for Compound Screening Libraries, seeks to inform and create a dynamic environment for discussion around this important topic. In this ever evolving area, it is critical to understand the current design and selection methods of compound screening libraries, along with the range of available business models. The conference should appeal to medicinal chemists, synthetic chemists, computational chemists and compound management teams from industry and academia involved in library design and acquisition along with those involved in hit and lead generation primarily in drug discovery and agrochemistry. Presentations from industry, academia and commercial compound vendors will include talks on computational design, focused library sets for phenotypic screening, 3-d fragment libraries, attention to physicochemical properties, opportunities from advances in synthetic organic chemistry as well as the compound acquisition market place. In addition there will be ample opportunities for discussion and networking whilst browsing trade stands from the leading suppliers.
