Introducing The Rational Based Drug Design Summit Europe

As drug discovery teams face increasing pressure to identify better targets, reduce development risk and accelerate progression to the clinic, the integration of structural biology, biophysics, medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry and AI has become essential to modern discovery.

The Rational Based Drug Design Summit Europe was established as Europe's dedicated forum for the scientists driving this transformation, uniting discovery leaders to share practical strategies for improving target identification, molecular design, hit validation and candidate selection.
