Event Details
The Federation of Asian Biotech Associations (FABA), in collaboration with Science Gurus (USA) and the University of Hyderabad, proudly announces the upcoming Drug Discovery & Development Workshop 2025, to be held from August 28 to August 31, 2025, at the School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad. This prestigious in-person workshop will spotlight frontier technologies in Cell & Gene Therapy, Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs), and Bispecific Antibodies, while offering a panoramic view of the drug development pipeline from target discovery to clinical application.
With an expected gathering of over 300 participants, 25+ distinguished speakers, and global representation, the workshop is designed to serve as a dynamic platform for learning, networking, and global collaboration in therapeutic science.
Designed for researchers, professionals, and students alike, this four-day in person program will deliver a rich blend of lectures, case discussions, and interactive sessions covering every stage of the drug development journey from molecular target discovery to commercialization by including a diversified experts of academicians, industrialists.
Workshop Highlights Include:
- Day 1 – Drug Discovery: Keynote lectures on target identification, lead optimization, AI-assisted discovery, and pre-clinical safety evaluations.
- Day 2 – Drug Development: Discussions on formulation R&D, clinical trial design, regulatory frameworks, and the use of non-animal models.
- Day 3 – IP & Commercialization: Sessions on intellectual property, licensing strategies, Biosimilars, personalized medicine, and drug repurposing.
- Day 4 – Special Topics: Focused panels on cutting-edge therapies such as iPSC-based cell and gene therapy, ADCs, and the challenges of drug innovation in the Indian biotech ecosystem.
This subject specific workshop also comprises of selected participant presentations across all days and concludes with a panel discussion on innovative drug discovery strategies for Indian companies. This is one of the première flagship workshop that provides a vital forum to bridge the knowledge gaps between academic research and translational drug development, aligning with global trends in therapeutic innovation.
