Finding out about the latest developments in drug design and computational chemistry, from GPCR modelling to virtual screening to in silico tools, is crucial to pushing a lead one step closer to a blockbuster drug. Case studies are given from GSK, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Lundbeck, Roche, Pfizer and Novartis covering screening and structure-based design to ligand-based design and various drug design methodologies and approaches. Following on from the success of the 2008 event, and further building on it's established reputation, SMi are proud to present their 8th Annual Drug Design Conference, bringing together world-class speakers addressing the most important aspects of Drug Discovery & Design, highlighting the novel technologies and methodologies focussing on protein target drug design.
