New Horizons in Medicinal Chemistry of Protein Kinases Workshop
Date: March 7th, 2016
Time: 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm
Venue: FAPESP – Rua Pio XI, 1500 - São Paulo/ SP - Brazil
The Workshop will bring together world experts from academy and pharmaceutical industry to discuss the state-of-the-art of targeting kinase in human diseases, which has experienced a resurgent interest in the recent years. Speakers will present their most current findings in the kinase field and will discuss strategies for efficient targeting of kinases using small molecules. They will also highlight the impact of using an open access model to accelerate discoveries for new drugs and to facilitate the establishment of collaborative programs between public and private sectors.

About the SGC and SGC-UNICAMP:
The SGC is a public-private partnership that supports the discovery of new medicines through open source research that conduct pre-competitive research to facilitate the discovery of new medicines and has research sites at the University of Oxford, University of Toronto (Canada), University of Campinas (Brazil), and University of North Carolina (USA).
The SGC-UNICAMP Center funded by FAPESP, UNICAMP and SGC, is focused on developing molecular probes for protein kinases regulating RNA splicing and chromatin, with strong links to the other SGC laboratories and our network of industrial funders and academic collaborators. In addition to targeting human physiology, we will also utilize the chemical probes to investigate the roles of protein kinases in plants, with an emphasis on promoting resistance to adverse conditions and improving yields of agriculturally-significant crops.
