10 Years of Chemical Biology at the Center for Biopharmaceuticals
DRA symposium
The symposium will feature eight current or former Center for Biopharmaceuticals (CBP) members as speakers, who now work in industry and academia. Their presentations will cover a wide variety of topics representing the broad research interests around chemical biology at the CBP and ILF, including biopharmaceuticals, medicinal chemistry, design & ligand recognition, protein-protein interaction, molecular structure, and evolution.
