Registration for this event is now closed

Researchers of all levels at the Universities of Leeds, York and Sheffield are invited to attend the first White Rose Drug Discovery Forum, to be held in Leeds on Wednesday 25^th May, 2011. The aims of the Forum are twofold: firstly, to provide a platform for early-stage researchers to speak about their work in an informal environment, and secondly to promote collaboration between research groups at the three universities. As such, PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and principal investigators are all encouraged to attend. The Forum will end with plenary talks by Professor Peter Johnson of the University of Leeds, and a representative from AstraZeneca (TBC). 

Registration is free, but we ask that all PhD students and post-docs submit a talk title when they register. The deadline for registration is Friday 29^th April. 

We encourage participants to interpret the ‘drug discovery’ theme in its broadest sense, with key words including, but not limited to: Rational drug design; structural biology/bioinformatics; organic/computational chemistry; fragment-based screening; target identification/validation; protein-ligand interactions; natural products.
