Panel Discussion: Expanding the Druggable Universe & the Future of Rational Drug Design in an Era of AI, Structural Biology & Emerging Modalities

9:00 am - Wednesday 13th January 2027

  • Explore why complex, dynamic, and previously inaccessible targets have challenged traditional drug discovery approaches
  • Discover how advances in structural biology, biophysics, computational chemistry, and AI are expanding the druggable proteome
  • Understand how molecular glues, degraders, and other emerging modalities reshaping discovery portfolios are and required capabilities
  • Identify which technologies are driving value today versus those likely to transform discovery over the next decade
  • Learn how leading organisations are combining experimental and computational approaches to pursue challenging targets with greater confidence
