SMi Reports: SMi’s Drug Discovery conference returns to London in March 2018.
- (1888PressRelease) October 24, 2017 - The pharmaceutical industry is constantly battling the same issue when trying to discover drugs; the process is timely, expensive and usually unsuccessful. Pharmaceutical companies are trying to speed up the procedure to make it more accurate and minimise drug leads which are likely to fail further on in the drug development process.
With this backdrop, SMi’s 2nd annual Drug Discovery conference provides an unprecedented opportunity to gain insight into the use of Artificial Intelligence in in silico drug discovery, CRISPR and PROTAC’s, as well as discussing advancements in medicinal chemistry, translational medicine and 3D structure based-discovery.
