DMCCB Basel Symposium 2022: «Intrinsically Disordered Proteins as Drug Targets»
Start Date | 31.01.2022 - 10:30 |
Event End | 30.11.2017 |
Location | Online Conference (organized by DMCCB and University of Basel) |
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) have long be considered undruggable because of their inherent flexibility and therefore lack of stable binding pockets for small molecules. Many IPD are associated with diseases making them attractive targets for drug discovery. Novel strategies to address these targets are needed and understanding has increased over the recent years.
Illustrating the progress in the field of intrinsically disordered proteins will be of high interest to students in chemistry, pharmacy, biology, and to the medicinal chemistry and chemical biology community at large. The target audience is therefore composed of scientists from pharmaceutical and biotech industries, as well as colleagues from academia.
The program is composed of 6 invited speakers highlighting recent progress in the field.
A session with short oral communications covering also topics of Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology in a broader sense.
Invited Speakers:
- Dan Nomura (Berkeley, US)
- Ben Schuler (UZH)
- Hilal Lashuel (EPFL)
- Birgit Strodel (Jülich, D)
- Sarah Slavoff (Yale University, US)
- Virginia Burger (New Equilibrium Biosciences, Cambridge, US)
