Drug discovery in the flatlands
Welcome to this guest lecture with dr. Chandra Verma from the A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute in Singapore
Abstract:
Computational modelling has now come of age and is rapidly
emerging as an essential component of the molecular biology toolkit. A
major exciting new development has been the exploration of inhibition of
protein:protein interactions, traditionally an impenetrable area in drug
discovery. Inspired by recent developments in this area we will discuss
how a novel set of home grown p53-activating molecules are proving to
be new reagents for the exploration of molecular/cellular biology and
appear to hold promise as novel therapeutics.
Please note that Chandra will be available for discussions after (and
possibly before) the seminar. Please let me know if /when you would like
to have a chat with him and I'll book a slot in his schedule.
Welcome!
