Early-Stage Drug Discovery Workshop

The Early-Stage Drug Discovery Workshop is a two-day, in-person meeting aimed for all students and researchers interested in drug discovery. The program (pdf) is divided to sessions starting from finding of a small molecule hit compound, followed by synthesis of analogs to establish a robust structure-activity relationship and evaluation of pharmacokinetic properties of the compounds, and ending to lead optimization aiming for a desired efficacy. At the end of the course, there will be a streamed talk addressing academic drug discovery and the established center. The course will also provide a possibility for students, researchers and companies working in the field to network and create new contacts.



The course is organized with a support of the Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme of the University of Oulu graduate school and 0.5 study points will be awarded for active participation.

Register for the workshop by 10.11.2022.
