15th EFMC Short Course on Medicinal Chemistry—Small Becomes Big in Medicinal Chemistry: Fragment-based Drug Discovery
Course Outline
In the last twenty years, FBDD has proven to be an effective approach for hit identification for chemical biology and drug discovery projects with many fragment-derived compounds now in clinical trials and a few on the market. This course will provide an introduction for medicinal chemists to the important concepts and methods, including fragment libraries, fragment screening technologies and relevant computer-aided drug design approaches. The course will finish with a series of presentations on applications of FBDD, including summaries of published fragment to lead optimisation strategies. The course will be organized by the FRAGNET consortium, a European training network dedicated to FBDD.
