Event Overview
Membrane-bound proteins such as GPCRs and ion channels represent some of the most compelling yet challenging targets in drug discovery. Their structural complexity, dynamic biology, and dependence on native cellular environments have historically limited our ability to effectively characterize and modulate them. This forum will examine the latest advances in overcoming these barriers, highlighting emerging target classes, novel mechanisms of action, and innovative therapeutic strategies that are expanding the boundaries of target discovery. Bringing together experts from academia, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry, the sessions will showcase how advances in biology, chemistry, engineering, and computational sciences are enabling the interrogation and drugging of previously inaccessible membrane proteins, opening new opportunities for therapeutic innovation.
