Synthetic Chemistry Aspects of Drug Discovery and Early Development Projects
The drug discovery process is complex and scientists collaborate across a variety of different disciplines and areas of expertise to go from identification and validation of a new target, to an approved and marketed small molecule therapeutic agent.
Chemistry is fundamental to the drug discovery process with discovery chemists at the front end of the process and development chemists in the latter stages.
This webinar will provide an understanding of the specific skills that are required of the chemist to successfully navigate the earlier and latter stages of the drug discovery process, and how the two disciplines have apparent differences.
