January 14 4pm 1131 Bioinformatics The development of new anti-cancer therapies continues to be massively outpaced by the rapidly expanding knowledge into the biological mechanisms that underpin the development of cancer.  One major obstacle is that many potentially interesting targets are challenging to drug.  This lecture will focus on strategies using covalent inhibitors and small molecule degraders which hold the promise of making many previously challenging targets druggable.  In particular, we will focus on the use of these approaches to…
