Q Founder Seminar | So you've got an amazing target...Considerations in Screening for New Therapeutics
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Identifying a novel target for a specific disease indication is an exciting discovery that may result in top journal publications. However, the next step of identifying compounds that effectively bind and modulate the function of a target can be a challenging task requiring substantial funding, time, and resources.
Join Eric Schiffhauer, Director of Academic Outreach at Deerfield Management, who will walk through a framework of options at the earliest stage of drug discovery: hit identification. He will discuss considerations and new technologies that scientists can keep in mind when they embark on finding a small molecule that can be used as a tool to understand biology better and may ultimately become a drug that treats patients. In his presentation, Eric will answer questions like: What type of assays are available for my target of interest? Should I consider an in silico virtual screen? What are the pros and cons of phenotypic screening? What molecule libraries are available? What kind of library should be considered? What are the types of university and external partners I can use to execute my screening plan?
SPEAKER BIO:
Eric Schiffhauer is the Associated Direct of Outreach at Deerfield Management. He is a Ph.D. molecular and cell biologist with experience working on drug discovery projects in the rare disease and cancer spaces. His current work focuses on translating academic research into fully integrated drug discovery programs by helping to create a therapeutic hypothesis, asset positioning, and developing clinical and funding strategies.

Q Founder Series | Building a Target Product Profile Starting with the End in Mind
Online - 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Marta New, CEO of Radyus Research, will define and describe the anatomy of a Target Product Profile (TPP) and how it can be effectively leveraged as a product roadmap during early therapeutic development. She will discuss how a well-crafted TPP helps guide decisions related to preclinical development, formulation, clinical trials, regulatory strategies, and commercialization to ensure your drug stands out among the therapeutic crowd. Learn how by defining the desired attributes, patient benefits, and market positioning of a therapeutic early on, researchers can more readily align their development process with the needs of both patients and the market, increasing the chances of developing a successful, market-ready drug. All Northwestern faculty, postdocs, students, staff and friends are welcome to join this event.
