New drugs
This speech will address aspects related to drug discovery in the academic environment: the importance of the selection of protein targets of interest and how to alter their biological function and folding; the application of biophysical techniques for the characterisation of their structure and function; the growing relevance of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) as therapeutic targets; and the essential steps in the identification of potential drugs in academic laboratories, from the identification of unresolved health problems to the preclinical testing of compounds.
