UK QSAR Autumn 2020 Meeting
Agenda
The UK QSAR and Cheminformatics Group 2020 Autumn Meeting will be a virtual meeting hosted by the Medicines Discovery Catapult focusing on accelerating Hit-2-Lead and Lead Optimisation.
We are fortunate to have the same great panel of speakers from big pharma, academia and fast expanding biotechs from the cancelled Spring Meeting earlier this year - please note, if you registered for the Spring Meeting, you will still need to register again for this event.
In addition to the speaker presentations, an interactive parallel poster session will take place and a panel discussion will be added.
If you wish to present a poster, please indicate on the registration form.
