Abstract:
This talk spans three decades of insights in small molecule drug discovery and development. The journey includes experiences across academia, biotech, large pharma, government, professional organizations, and venture capital leadership. Scientific vignettes will highlight the discovery and development of inhibitors for oncology, immunology, and neurological diseases, targeting a wide range of protein classes. The discussion will also address unmet medical needs in women's health and the opportunity to drive impactful change in this area. It is a personal journey that reflects key accomplishments, observations, and advice for today’s students, scientists, and leaders at all stages of their careers.
