The #MCCB2025 conference in Darwin kicks off in style, with @alessiociulli delivering an amazing talk on dual ligase targeting molecular glues, and their new bromocatch tag

(Talk so good it blew the power out all across Darwin for a minute 😂)

[Christoph Nitsche @NitscheLab]

Great talk by @Lani_D1 from our lab at #MCCB2025 in Darwin on engineered nanobodies as potential theranostics!

[School of Chemistry | University of Melbourne @ChemistryUoM]

Dr Ludovica Monti @LudovicaMonti @ChemistryUoM delivered a keynote lecture on her recent work the use of genomics to identify novel drug targets in neglected tropical diseases at the Infectious Disease session of the @RACInational #MCCB2025

Huge Congrats to our PhD Students, Bill, Nick and Jack on their publication - "Fragment-based drug discovery for disorders of the central nervous system: designing better drugs piece by piece".

[Centre for Drug Discovery Innovation @Sydney_DDI]

🧩Fragment Based Drug Discovery is an exciting alternative method to develop new central nervous system active drugs.

DDI researchers and co-authors explore recent compelling examples of FBDD and its utility.
