NSW drug discovery researchers: a reminder that applications to present at the NSW Drug Discovery Forum on October 28 and 29 close at 5pm this Friday 30 August. We're working on some additional exciting speaker prizes, with a complimentary attendance at the 2025 AusBiotech Conference already confirmed. As a presenter, you will get guidance and advice from industry and investors on your drug discovery program, and I can guarantee you will get nuggets of wisdom from the panels we have assembled. The amazing team at Centre for Drug Discovery Innovation at the University of Sydney have a vision to make this an annual event supporting and celebrating drug discovery in NSW, but it won't work if there aren't applications from institutions other than USyd!
