Significant developments within the last 20 years r ange from the development of DNA-encoded libraries for hit finding and ev en hit-to-lead optimisation to the reinvigoration of irreversible inhibit ors resulting in innovative oncology drugs such as osimertinib and sotora sib.\n\nThis course will cover advanced methods\, new technologies and to ols available for medicinal chemists\, with a focus on oncology drug disc overy\, including fragment based-drug discovery\, DNA-encoded library tec hnologies\, covalent drug discovery and small molecules that target RNA. The course will finish with a series of oncology case studies successfull y utilising these drug discovery technologies for the development of clin ical candidates and marketed drugs.\n\nCourse Set-up\n\nThis intensive co urse is intended for scientists working in the field\, and the presentati ons will be given by senior scientists from industry and academia. The nu mber of participants is limited to 35\, to allow in depth discussion. Sho uld the number of applications exceed the maximum\, preference will be gi ven to applicants from EFMC adhering countries and employees of EFMC corp orate members. Upon special request to the organisers\, only based on fin ancial conditions and supported by an argued recommendation of the head o f the department of the applicant\, up to 3 applicants from academia may be admitted at a reduced fee.\n\nCourse Organisers\n\nMike WARING (Newcas tle University\, United Kingdom)Hannah STEWART (Newcastle University\, Un ited Kingdom)\n\nLocal Organiser\n\nLaura HEITMAN \;(University of Le iden\, The Netherlands)\n DTEND:20240424T123000 DTSTAMP:20260512T235049Z DTSTART:20240421T160000 LOCATION:Oud Poelgeest\, 1\, Poelgeesterweg\, Oegstgeest\, \, 2341 NM\, SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:The EFMC is glad to invite you \;to Oegstgeest\, near Leiden\, from April 21-24\, 2024 \;for an intensive 3-day course on \;Tra nsformative Ap...
