A New Screening Approach for Lead Discovery: DNA-Encoded Library Technology



WEBINAR

This webinar is presented in partnership with Dynabind. Our speakers cover best practices and new innovations in screening during lead discovery,  an important step of drug discovery workflow. You will learn about a new screening approach to facilitate faster and cheaper lead discovery. This talk also covers sustainability in addition to efficiency.

Who should watch?

Chemists and biologists interested in new technologies and innovative approaches for the screening step of drug discovery workflow.
