There will be a few other talks (such as one by Pamela Williams from Astex) that also discuss fragment approaches. This meeting is more 'discovery biology' focused than our spring PPI meeting, which is more medicinal chemistry oriented; but of course there will be a lot of overlap. The fall/Boston PPI meeting will spend more time on the PPIs cellular role and why they make good targets. The PPI meeting in Spring/San Diego focuses more on optimization of the lead compounds than validation of the PPI and initial discovery of compounds targeting it. <br /><br />Also, as Dan mentioned, the Spring/San Diego event also has a dedicated meeting for 'Fragment Based Drug Discovery' -- that many people pair with the PPI meeting; each is a day and a half and are back-to-back.Anjani Shah, Ph.D., Conference Directorhttp://www.discoveryontarget.comnoreply@blogger.com
