Presentation:
"Discovery of Novel Small-molecule Degraders Targeting Oncoproteins and Development of New Approaches to Target Undruggable Proteins"
Abstract:
Dr. Jian Jin’s lab is a leader in discovering novel small-molecule degraders targeting various oncoproteins and developing new technologies for advancing the targeted protein degradation field. Our progress in this research area, including development of several novel approaches to target undruggable proteins (which lack small-molecule binders), will be presented.
Host: Dr. Lu Wang, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics
