Unlocking Faster Drug Discovery with Cryo-EM: From Difficult Targets to Actionable Structures
11:30 am - Thursday 14th January 2027
- Accelerate structure-based drug discovery by implementing streamlined cryo-EM workflows that can deliver near-atomic-resolution structures in weeks, enabling faster iteration from target validation to lead optimisation
- Expand the range of druggable targets by applying cryo-EM to membrane proteins, multiprotein assemblies, and other challenging systems that are difficult or impossible to study using traditional crystallography
- Build a cost-effective cryo-EM strategy by addressing the realities of large-scale data processing, storage, and compute demands. Explore hybrid cloud and on-premise approaches, infrastructure optimization, and total cost-of-ownership considerations for biotech teams
