CHI and Bio-IT World's 12th Annual Structure-Based Drug Design Conference
June 6 - 8, 2012: Structure-based drug design took nearly two decades of multiple, parallel technological improvements to arrive at its current mainstream position in medicinal chemistry. At the CHI and Bio-IT World's 12th Annual Structure-Based Drug Design Conference in Cambridge, MA, an accomplished faculty of experts will bring to focus recent advancements in this evolving and dynamic field. Developments in computer graphics, high-power radiation sources, computational processing power, refinement protocols, virtual screening and crystallography were all necessary to create the environment for rapid, iterative structure-based drug discovery. Given the crisis facing the pharmaceutical industry in the translation of early stage drug discovery results, a different set of tools, concerned with algorithms and methods for developing best in class drugs that engage biological targets with kinetically optimized potency and selectivity will need to be refined.
