Synopsis
One of the most exciting new therapeutic modalities to emerge in the 21st century has been Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD). The targeted protein degradation (TPD) market in 2025 is estimated to be worth between approximately $0.48 billion and $0.65 billion, Expected to reach anywhere from $3.5 billion to $9.85 billion by 2034 or 2035.
This multidisciplinary meeting aims to present the latest developments in the design, biology, chemistry and ADME in TPD within the general themes of PROTACS (including non-oncology targets), Molecular Glues and non-PROTAC degraders. We aim to highlight the newest in enabling technologies such as computational techniques, Direct to Biology, HT synthesis (click, photochemistry etc) and structural biology methods.
Who should attend
The meeting aims is targeted at academic and industrial scientists engaged in all aspects of research into the ubiquitin proteasome pathway and those interested in broadening their knowledge in this rapidly expanding field.
Student Bursaries
The RSC-BMCS and SCI are offering a small number of bursaries to attend the meeting in person. Applications are open to PhD and post-doctoral applicants studying at academic institutions or non-profit institutions. Preference will be given to members of the RSC-BMCS or SCI. Bursary applications are also invited from RSC or EFMC members who are of working age, but currently unemployed and from those who may have difficulty in funding their attendance. The deadline for applications is Monday 17th August, 2026.
