Guiding Better Decisions in Drug Discovery and Development
March 19th, 2014 at British Embassy in Tokyo
March 20th, 2014 at British Consulate-General in Osaka

Cresset, Optibrium, Lhasa Limited and Chemogenomix, innovative providers of computational chemistry software and services, announce the ‘International Symposium on Compound Design Technologies: Guiding Better Decisions in Compound Design Technologies’. The symposium will be held on March 19th at the British Embassy in Tokyo and on March 20th at the British Consulate-General in Osaka.

The event will be of particular interest to computational chemists working in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and drug discovery industries, attendees will hear about technologies that guide them to successful small molecule and biotherapeutic drug discovery and development, intuitive molecular design and 3D-QSAR interpretation as well as knowledge based toxicity prediction.

The keynote presentation will be made by Dr John Overington (EMBL-EBI) with other presentations from Dr. Kimito Funatsu (University of Tokyo), Dr. Yoshio Hamada (Kobe Gakuin University) and Dr. Hiroshi Chuman (University of Tokushima), Dr. Matt Segall (Optibrium), Dr. Tim Cheeseright (Cresset), Dr. Thierry Hanser (Lhasa Limited) and Dr. Mark Swindells (Chemogenomix).

Combinatorial ChemistryCombinatorial chemistry, also known as combichem, is a technique used in drug discovery to create libraries of structurally related compounds. A library is generated by synthesis with a chemical reactor system or by computer-based modeling of compound combinations. When undertaking combinatorial chemistry consider reagents, buffers, resins and standards.Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.Drug DiscoveryDrug discovery is the process of identifying potential new medications, involving stages such as target identification, compound screening, and preclinical development. It relies on cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling to accelerate the identification of drug candidates. Drug discovery plays a pivotal role in developing new therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders.
