Instruct

Fragment-Screen is an innovative new European project, designed to develop novel instrumentation, workflows and methodologies to accelerate the development of new pharmaceuticals through fragment-based drug discovery.

The Kick-Off Meeting for the project will take place 22-23 March 2023, held at Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften in Bad Homburg, Germany.

Instruct-ERIC, Project Coordinator, invites you to attend the meeting remotely – which will be filled with ground-breaking scientific talks on the latest developments in fragment screening technology, across several thematic areas.

 

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Steve Fesik, Vanderbilt University
  • Pamela Williams, Astex Pharmaceuticals
  • Payel Das, IBM
  • Frank von Delft, Diamond Light Source

 

The first day will include all of the above speakers, plus introductions to the project from Harald Schwalbe, Instruct-ERIC Director, and a detailed breakdown of how the project will accelerate fragment-screen development in X-Ray crystallography, Cryo-EM, NMR, artificial intelligence, and mass spectrometry. The second day will focus primarily on project operations and administration.
