A New Life for Old Molecules: Approaches to Drug Re-purposing

Watch this webinar to hear from Dr. Joshua Sacher, Applied Scientist, Cyclica. Dr. Sacher will discuss resources and a variety of approaches to prepare for and conduct a drug re-purposing project.

Viewers will learn:

• What drug re-purposing is
• Observational, biological, and computational approaches to identifying a drug to re-purpose
• Resources for computational assessments of compound candidates
• Considerations for re-purposing projects
