Emerging Medicinal Chemistry Approaches to Targeting Disease Pathways

Date: June 3, 2026
Time: 12:00 – 13:30 Eastern Time

Featuring winners of the 2026 Philip S. Portoghese Early Career Award for the Advancement of Medicinal Chemistry, it will shine light on the dark kinome and explore how proximity‑inducing chemical approaches are unlocking new ways to modulate protein function and open the door to transformative therapeutic possibilities.

New Platforms for Probing and Engineering Therapeutic Delivery Systems

Date: June 17, 2026
Time: 09:00 – 11:00 Eastern Time

This webinar will highlight approaches ranging from protein stability assessment to antibody design and nanoscale delivery assembly. They will showcase powerful approaches that provide molecular‑level insights essential for developing next‑generation therapeutics, presented by the winners of the 2026 Molecular Pharmaceutics Early Career Best Paper Award.

Mapping Disease Pathways Through Spatial Multiomics

Date: June 24, 2026
Time: 11:00 – 12:00 Eastern Time

Prof. Elizabeth Neumann, winner of the 2026 Early Career Investigator Award in Analytical Chemistry, will discuss how combining rich molecular profiling with spatial context will provide new insights into cellular interactions and pathway organization—offering an exciting, next‑generation view of disease mechanisms and progression.

Advancing Platforms for Asymmetric Mixtures

Date: July 2, 2026
Time: 11:00 – 12:00 Eastern Time

By showcasing creative strategies for navigating and characterizing these systems, it will offer fresh perspectives from Dr. Aaron Rowane, winner of the 2026 Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data Early Career Award, that enable deeper insight, greater control, and new opportunities for discovery across chemical research.
