Hit ID Symposium 2025

We’re excited to announce the return of the Hit ID Symposium in 2025, a one-day event dedicated to the topic of hit identification within in a small-molecule drug discovery setting.

Building on the success of our sold-out 2023 event, this year’s symposium will bring together researchers, clinicians, industry partners, entrepreneurs and translational specialists to explore topics on:
•    Applied screening techniques
•    AI- and computationally guided discovery
•    Target Product Profiles (TPPs)
•    Target validation 
•    Funding mechanisms
•    IP protection

Our program will guide participants through the various stages of drug discovery: how to do it, how to fund it, and how to protect it. Through scientific talks, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, Hit ID 2025 offers practical insights into validating a target, identifying a hit and how to progress a hit through to a clinical candidate.

Whether you're already involved or interested in engaging in a small-molecule discovery program, Hit ID 2025 is not to be missed!

Invited Speakers:
The Honourable Jaala Pulford - Chair of MTP Connect
Professor Kate Schroder - University of Queensland (Keynote Speaker)
Professor Giuseppe Barca - Monash University
Dr Nicole Trainor - WEHI/Ternarx 
Dr Fabien Plisson - Ingenie Bio
