If you are attending Hanson Wade’s Proteomics in Drug Discovery Summit, check out the workshop and talk of Jagat Adhikari, our Head of Structural Proteomics. Jagat will share insights and examples on how we use #DeepLearning to augment data acquisition and interpretation for both discovery (“bottom up”) and structural proteomics to enable target prosecution and lead finding.

Coming back even more energized from a phenomenal meeting on the expansion of covalent therapeutics organized by the British Pharmacological Society, hosted at AstraZeneca.
It is invigorating and exciting to see how this research field and community continues to expand the repertoire of mechanisms of action (MoAs) to develop new medicines for patients in need.
The diversity of topics and speakers, with top academics such as (in a.o.) Brad L. Pentelute, Daniel Nomura, David Mann, Lyn Jones, and Nir London, young raising stars like Megan Matthews, Peter Cossar in academia, and Andrea Gohlke and Emma Grant in pharma (plus all those that presented their posters!), as well as established biotech and pharma professionals, packed in two days many lessons learned and forward thinking to continue to expand the reach of covalency in pharmaceutical research. 
My colleagues at Covant Therapeutics and I believe that covalent drug discovery is poised to grow, beyond molecular weight limits (e.g. peptides), beyond current target classes and subcell compartments (e.g. transcriptional machinery, the membranome), beyond single reactive amino acids (e.g. Lys, Tyr, His), beyond irreversibility (e.g. new chemistries), beyond oncology (e.g. I&I), and even further when efficiently combined with other modalities (e.g. glues). 
Wholehearted thanks to the organizing committee (kudos in a.o. to Bharath Srinivasan, Mark, S. B McAlister, Sarah Hewitt and Simon Lucas), the BPS staff (shoutout to Bonnie Rayner and Mariam Chahid), the session chairs, and the generous science sponsors that augment our own capabilities with their expertise (also in a.o. Applied Photophysics, Enzymlogic, Fida Biosystems, Genedata, OmicScouts, Pelago Bioscience AB, Promega Corporation , Selvita, and WuXi AppTec), without forgetting the Royal Society of Chemistry.
