26th November 2020: 31st Symposium on Medicinal Chemistr
Wesley Blackaby, Vice President Chemistry, will be presenting “The challenges of targeting RNA modifying enzymes as drug targets” at 1.45pm GMT.
The Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry in Eastern England, known as the "Hatfield MedChem" meeting, is a highly successful, long-standing, one-day annual meeting. The scientific programme will comprise presentations showcasing medicinal chemistry case studies from tools to candidates, across a range of modalities, therapeutic areas and target classes, as well as covering more general topics from the forefront of drug discovery of relevance to medicinal chemists. Wesley’s presentation will include an introduction to RNA modifications and go on to describe some of the strategies and technologies STORM has developed to tackle this target class using the METTL3 program as a case study. https://www.rsc.org/events/detail/41288/31st-medicinal-chemistry-in-eastern-england
10th December 2020: 3rd Annual RNA-Target Drug Discovery
Wesley Blackaby, Vice President Chemistry, will be presenting “Targeting Cancer with First-in-Class Inhibitors of the RNA m6A Methyltransferase METTL3” at 11:30am EST (4:30 pm GMT).
The 3rd RNA- Targeted Drug Discovery Summit is the most comprehensive and definitive event for the RNA targeting small molecule community. Wesley’s presentation will include an introduction to RNA modifications, the role of METTL3 and the m6A modification in disease and describe the discovery of potent and selective inhibitors of METTL3 including their utility in haematological and solid tumours. https://rna-drugdiscovery.com/speaker/wesley-blackaby/
