Webinar: Targeted Protein Degradation Virtual Symposium
July 15, 2020 - 10:00 am - 12:50 pm
The symposium will bring together insights on:
- Critical assessment of the field
- PROTAC® design, discovery and development
- Innovative new research tools
- Expanding the E3 ligase toolbox
We hope you will join us for what will be a fascinating and informative symposium.
Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) is a technology that harnesses small molecule modalities (molecular glues, PROTAC® Degraders, SNIPERS etc) to achieve selective knockdown of target proteins within cells.
Heterobifunctional Degraders represent an exciting new modality, repurposing small molecule ligands to achieve selective degradation (knock-down) of target proteins and offering the potential to expand the druggable proteome.
