Welcome to the 2nd Covalent Drug Discovery & Development Summit

As covalent inhibitors with improved safety and potency progress from the bench to the clinic, the 2nd Covalent Drug Discovery & Development Summit returns with 3 days jam-packed with industry insights to address your most prevalent pain points, such as:

Leveraging lysine-, tyrosine- and histidine-based covalency to unlock hard-to-drug targets

Rationally designing covalent heterobifunction and monovalent small molecules displaying alternative MoAs

Minimizing off-target toxicity of your covalent drugs while building in high target specificity

Accelerating your chemical biology-enabled program against transcription factors, E3 ligases, immunology targets and beyond

5 Reasons Not to Miss Out in 2024:
