Protein-Protein Interaction

Conference - San Diego, CA, United States

The relatively new field of Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) is experiencing fantastic growth in the field of drug discovery. The key concepts of PPI are to understand how proteins interact, to understand why inhibiting them is beneficial (anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory), and how to identify molecules that block the interactions as treatment strategies.

These concepts and much more will be covered at the inaugural Protein-Protein Interaction Conference. Below are the topics and panels for this year's event.

Sessions of the conference include:

Theory & Computation

Innovative Computational Approaches & Technologies

Theory, Docking & Encounter Complexes

Design & Evolution

Novel Scaffolds and Inhibitors of PPI

PPI Evolution & Design

Biophysical Studies of PPIs

Non-Specific Interactions and Protein Crowding

Protein-Protein Interactions as Drug Targets

Preclinical & Basic Research Applications

Novel Advances is SMIPPIs Research

Protein Interactions in the Membrane

Membrane Proteins & Large Complexes

Networks of Protein-Protein Interactions

New Methods for PPI Screening

Modulation of PPIs

Technologies & New Approaches

There will also be several interactive Panel Discussions on:

Industry & Academia Collaborations

Community Data Sharing - Standardization & Challenges

The conference will run parallel with 3 other information-packed conference as part of the Protein Discovery Summit:

Antibody and Protein Therapeutics

Protein Expression & Formulation

2nd Protein Kinases and Drug Design
