Chemical probes

An afternoon symposium (12:00–5:15 PM ET) of The New York Academy of Sciences' Chemical Biology Discussion Group. Chemical biology applies chemical techniques to investigate and manipulate biological systems, understand their mechanisms and address challenges in biotechnology and human health, giving researchers new tools to probe cellular processes and uncover therapeutic strategies. The symposium connects chemists with cutting-edge technologies and biologists applying them to complex biological problems, with two keynote speakers and a selection of junior and early-career researchers present

Lead chemical biology and drug design connecting multiomic discovery to target identification. The team develops chemical probes and emerging modalities, including targeted degradation and molecular glues, and integrates experimental chemistry with computational and generative design while managing scientific programmes and external partners.
