Thematic meeting: Excellence in Molecular Design

 

Thank you all for your participation !

This One-Day thematic meeting, co-organized by the Société de Chimie Thérapeutique (SCT), Evotec and Institut Pasteur, has covered outstanding innovation and applied state-of-the-art molecular design contributing to advance drug discovery boundaries. Selected themes of the Symposium were dedicated to “breakthrough” discoveries or innovative technologies/methods and included the application of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).
