In this interactive workshop, the Small Molecules TIN (Chaired by Prof Matthew Todd) will highlight UCL's capabilities in viral drug discovery, including what platforms are currently operating and how to access them, as well as outlining collaboration opportunities with UCL researchers. The speakers will also present recent research from the Small Molecules TIN.
Through this event, we hope to stimulate new collaborative possibilities between scientists from different disciplines, therefore in addition to the short talks highlighted below, there may also be small group discussions.
Agenda:
Prof Matthew Todd (School of Pharmacy, TIN co-chair) - Introduction, chair
Dr Laurent Dupays (TRO, TIN coordinator) - Introduction to the Small Molecules TIN.
Dr Richard Angel (School of Pharmacy, TRO Drug Discovery Group) - Founder 3C - Collaborative Community against Coronavirus. 25 mins
Dr Claire Smith (GOS Institute of Child Health) - Air-liquid interface model. 25 mins
Break - 5mins
Professor Greg Towers (Division of Infection & Immunity) - Drugging the host to suppress viral replication. 25 mins
