Synopsis
Perturbation of cell signalling through inhibition of kinase enzymes has delivered nearly 30 approved medicines to date. The seventh SCI/RSC symposium on kinase inhibitor design will feature several highly pertinent themes including new approaches and technologies to modulate and measure kinase function as well as diverse medicinal chemistry case studies. The symposium will also draw on the lessons from history to provide insight into the future direction of the field.
Attendees
In addition to medicinal discovery scientists wishing to further their knowledge of kinases, the meeting will also be of great value to the wider drug discovery community. It will provide transferable lessons and insight into how new approaches and technologies are being applied in a successful and maturing field of research.
