Drug Discovery Chemistry Europe is a dynamic conference and networking event for discovery chemists (mostly), biologists and computational scientists working in pharma, biotech, and academia. One of the few events that reflects the new cross-functional and collaborative nature of drug discovery, our speakers and attendees are comprised primarily of pharma and biotech scientists, as well as key academic thought leaders working in translational research. Discussions of chemical tools and approaches to meet the practical (not theoretical) challenges of drug discovery are front and center. The 2025 program featured a plenary keynote from Dr. Craig M. Crews of Yale University, a pioneer in targeted protein degradation and inventor of PROTACs.
