PROTACs: Breaking Boundaries in Drug Discovery

Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Drug Discovery & Development, Fundamental Research,
  • Wednesday, October 09, 2024 | 11am EDT (NA) / 4pm BST (UK) / 5pm CEST (EU-Central)
  • 60 min

Discover an illuminating webinar on proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs), a game-changing technology that is revolutionizing drug discovery and beyond. These catalytic entities are transforming biomedical research, drug discovery and agrochemical industries by selectively degrading specific proteins, including traditionally “undruggable” targets.

In this webinar, the expert speakers will cover key aspects shaping the future of PROTACs:

  • Decoding PROTACs: Explore the unique mechanism behind PROTACs and what makes them unique as targeted protein degraders
  • Biomedical Breakthroughs: Uncover how PROTACs are paving the way for new treatments for a spectrum of diseases, from cancer to neurodegenerative disorders
  • Precision Redefined: Learn how PROTACs offer targeted therapies with reduced side effects, promising a new era in personalized medicine
  • Crop Protection Reinvented: Discuss the potential of PROTACs in enhancing crop protection and sustainable agriculture practices

Register for this webinar today to understand the versatile and potent capabilities of PROTACs and their potential impact in biomedical research, drug discovery and agrochemicals.
