Webinar Description:

Kinases are one of the most widely-studied and productive drug target classes, with over 20 years in the spotlight for drug discovery research. Determining your candidate compounds selectivity and potency through kinase profiling is an essential step in kinase drug development.

Join our experts on this webinar to learn how we can accelerate your research in drug discovery using the knowledge and insights we’ve gained in our 15+ years of experience in Kinase Profiling and over 14 million data points assessed. We will also introduce other key products and services that support off-target profiling and characterization of lead compounds to enable advancement of candidate molecules through the drug discovery pipeline.

Learning Objectives:

• Introduction to KinaseProfiler and the importance of profiling
• Profiling beyond the kinome including Ubiquitin E3 ligase cascades, Epigenetic targets, GPCRs, and Ion Channels
• Tailor made protein production and assay development solutions e.g. protein-protein interactions and large scale screening
• Progress your kinase profile into a cellular context with OncoPanel™ Cell-Based Profiling Service
