The search for revolutionary medicines has largely been hampered by the lack of biological models to predict clinical response. With the advent of technological advances that allow us to chemically probe biological complexity, the ability to identify and validate targets that significantly modulate disease biology is being realized. This symposium is aimed at highlighting ground-breaking chemical biology approaches to dissect disease processes and impact drug discovery. Register
