The conference on compound libraries gives you a great insight into the latest developments and best practice solutions

In order to shorten the process, reduce costs and achieve an optimal outcome on the way to promising candidates, one must choose a smart library design from the very beginning.
Diese Konferenz richtet sich an Fachkräfte in der pharmazeutischen Forschung

Learn about the newest and most effective library designs and screening methods in order to better manage your collections

Generating or acquiring new compound library collections, successfully integrating them into an existing library and running the necessary screenings are also important aspects of the process. However, the challenges are not only technological but also organizational in nature. Today more than ever achieving hit-to-lead optimization must be interlinked with innovative outsourcing, acquisition and cooperation models.

The 7th annual conference on compounds will provide great insights into the following topics:

  • Listen to lessons-learnt from Pfizer’s file enrichment and library design strategies in order to better understand the challenges ahead
  • Learn how to rapidly detect starting points for med-chem optimization by employing rational design of focused and fragment libraries
  • Improve hit identification by finding out more on latest technologies such as SPR and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry and 19F – NMR
  • Enhance your screening collection strategies by learning more on the process of acquiring and integrating lead-like compounds
  • Learn about blind screening by understanding better the evolution of compound acquisition and the “no cure – no pay” principle

Testimonials

High content symposium. Lots of possibilites for networking. Good variety in topicsPetra Blom, Director, Asclepia MedChem Solutions
Excellent conference, not too many people so it is favourable for networking.Rimma Sushko, Manager Marketing & Sales, Life Chemicals Inc.
To the best of my knowledge this would be the first time anyone from Pfizer has spoken about the impact the file enrichment initiative has had on hit, lead and candidate discovery.Dr. Mark Gardner, Associate Research Fellow, Pfizer UK
