Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI) 2026
Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI) 2026 takes place on 2 December 2026 at SCI HQ, London. It is organised by Society of Chemical Industry, and B2DB lists 10 speakers and 12 sessions announced so far.
Protein-protein interactions are fundamental to nearly all cellular processes and are interesting targets for chemical biology research and drug development. As technology improves, so does our ability to interrogate these key interactions in both healthy and disease states, helping further the development of novel tools and identify opportunities for addressing unmet clinical need. The one-day meeting, organised by SCI's Fine Chemicals Group, brings together speakers from industry and academia to showcase current research and is aimed at scientists from industry and academia, including PhD students and early-career researchers.
