Molecular glues have a transformative potential in drug discovery, allowing targeted manipulation of protein-protein interactions within complex biological networks. These small molecules bypass conventional drug paradigms by reprogramming cellular machinery, offering innovative pathways to address previously undruggable targets.
In the talk Dr. Sabatini will discuss how novel biological assays, robotic automation and advanced numerical models enable the rational discovery and optimization of these compounds, opening new frontiers in therapeutic innovation.
