Synopsis
The BMCS Hot Topics online meetings are intended to highlight breaking areas of research in fields of science relevant to drug discovery. They will run as stand-alone half-day virtual events, 2-3 times per year. The programme will be targeted towards researchers working who would like to enhance their understanding of these nascent or developing fields.
While conventional small molecule drugs typically inhibit or activate proteins, PROTACs and glues offer new strategies to modulate biological pathways by either removing proteins entirely or enhancing their interactions to elicit a pharmacological effect. This meeting will feature presentations on the application and development of PROTACs, glues, and bifunctional molecules in chemical biology and drug discovery, highlighting their roles in both protein degradation and the modulation of new and existing protein-protein interactions (PPIs).
