The Centre had the pleasure of supporting the inaugural Hit ID Symposium 2023 on 27 October. The sold-out event took place at the Woodward Conference Centre in Melbourne and consisted of scientific sessions, interactive events and networking opportunities focussed on introducing delegates to the topic of hit identification within a small molecule drug discovery setting. 

It was the first small molecule drug discovery symposium showcasing the hit identification infrastructure and success stories to come out of Melbourne’s Parkville precinct. The event provided a unique opportunity to support a wide-reaching symposium that focused on hit-finding screening campaigns in drug discovery, delivered by experts actively working in the field from both within academia and industry.

The symposium introduced researchers and clinicians to the topic of small molecule drug discovery and the support that is available to engage in such a program, starting with the identification of a hit. Attendees were guided through how to do drug discovery, how to fund it and how to protect it.
