Listen in: New drugs on the nanoscale

Learn how innovative protein design and engineering are leading the way to transformative treatment modalities.

Drug design is entering a new era, driven by advances in nanoengineering and synthetic biology. Researchers are now creating novel, complex, multifunctional molecules that go beyond traditional small molecule drugs, offering new avenues for therapeutic interventions. In this Q&A event, we will discuss with Milan Mrksich how he developed megamolecules — large, intricate protein-based structures — and their diagnostic and therapeutic potential for various health conditions.

We’ll chat about these topics

  • The inspiration, design, and engineering of megamolecules
  • Applying megamolecules in targeted diagnostics and therapeutics
  • How nanotechnology and synthetic biology are shaping modern drug design



Wednesday, February 26th, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 1:45 PM Eastern Time
This listen in webinar will be available to view live and on demand.
