DNA-encoded small molecule libraries (DELs) created using combinatorial chemistry and synthetic oligonucleotides are being successfully applied to drug discovery projects across the pharmaceutical industry. There have been many recent advances in DEL technology with the promise of helping to deliver ever more efficacious and beneficial small molecule-based tools and therapies.
In this webinar, the featured speaker will review the use of state-of-the-art DEL technology to uncover compounds that modulate challenging therapeutic targets, including the following applications:
- Identification of hits to target in complex biological systems
- Targeted protein degradation
- Discovery of irreversible covalent binders
- Identifying binders to nucleic acid targets and
- Enhanced hit identification of DEL screen output using machine learning
Register for this webinar to learn about leading advances in DEL technology.
