Key Challenges in Medicinal Chemistry and Biology


This year Proventa debuted its successful online event format for the first time, providing experts from across the sector with an online forum just as useful and educational as our physical events have always been. During the recent Medicinal Chemistry / Biology events, held on 29 June, delegates received the chance to not only discover new insights in their chosen profession but also make important connections and engage with peers through the interactive roundtable discussions and panel debates.
During the discussion, a number of delegates shared their greatest challenges for the next few years. From AI to COVID-19, we tallied up the most commonly-announced areas of difficulty facing the industry today, alongside particular challenges as mentioned by those who attended.
