Supported by ACS & IUPAC
Oct 25–30, 2026 | University of Hyderabad
#MCADDI2026#DrugDiscovery#MedicinalChemistry
India has scientific talent.
Do we have the training to convert it into drug discovery capability?
What’s the most underrepresented skill in Indian drug discovery teams today?

MCADDI has been conducted since 2015 with ACS & IUPAC.
Past faculty: BMS, Genentech, AbbVie, Schrodinger, Sun Pharma, Aurigene, Glenmark.
2024 edition at Biocon Academy hosted 150+ participants.
MCADDI 2026: Oct 25–30 | Hyderabad.
India produces ~20% of global generics but <1% of new drugs, highlighting a major innovation gap. Drug discovery takes 10–15 years, from target ID to approval, with high failure rates only ~10% entering Phase I reach market.
Understanding the full pipeline is critical.

India makes ~20% of the world’s generic medicines.
But in drug discovery, our contribution remains limited.
AI is beginning to change this, rapidly.
The question is:
Will Indian innovators lead this shift?
India makes ~20% of global generics but <1% of novel drugs. The manufacturing, discovery gap, driven by limited industry-linked training across medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, ADME, and translational biology, is a major challenge we aim to address
