How to discover new medicines: From target to drug candidates by Israel Ramos, Technology Transfer Consultant at IRB Barcelona
Presentation
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!
