Recent advances in genomics, proteomics, and computational biology are allowing scientists to define coding genes and disease-causing mutations more precisely. Conference participants describe their cutting-edge research and approaches to identifying and characterizing drug targets, and how drugs are being developed for such targets. The conference brings to NYUAD international and UAE renowned scientists to present their work on finding new targets and drugs for human diseases.
