Lecture title: Expanding the drug target universe - Front Row lecture with Benjamin Cravatt, PhD Description: There are countless proteins that play critical roles in disease, yet they remain challenging to target with therapeutics. In this free Front Row lecture, professor Benjamin Cravatt will explain how his large-scale protein profiling research and innovative chemical technologies are helping identify novel drugs for therapeutic targets previously deemed ‘undruggable.’ Cravatt’s translational work, which is at the intersection of chemistry and biology, has also led to the formation of multiple local biotechnology companies that collectively employ hundreds of scientists who are developing first-in-class candidate medicines for diverse diseases ranging from cancer to neurological disorders.
