The 34^th BioCity Symposium focuses on drug development across a range of disease groups and on various drug modalities. Despite of significant breakthroughs in medicine, there are still numerous conditions for which there are no curative treatments, or even therapies that would effectively slow down the disease progression. Therefore, novel drug targets need to be identified and new drugs need to be discovered to target the disease-driving mechanisms. In this symposium, we will focus on academic drug discovery and on mechanisms how the promising new compounds identified in  academic setting can be converted to commercially viable industrial drug development programs. The symposium will also cover exciting new approaches to select the most suitable patient populations for the emerging therapies.
