DISCOVERY & DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT ASIA
Featuring

Drug Discovery & Development Congress: Asia Co-located with Nucleic Acid Therapeutics Congress: Asia and Precision Medicine Congress: Asia

Global Engage is pleased to present the Drug Discovery & Development Congress: Asia as part of the Discovery & Development Summit Asia 2025. This inaugural congress is a premier platform dedicated to advancing drug discovery and fostering partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region. Running as a one-day programme for Track 1 on Day 2 of the summit, it will cover AI-driven drug design, high-throughput screening, advanced disease modeling, biomarker discovery and regulatory strategies. The track will also spotlight emerging therapeutic approaches and collaboration opportunities across academia, industry and research institutions, complemented by dedicated networking sessions and an exhibition area showcasing cutting-edge technologies and solutions.

Drug discovery and development are entering a transformative era, driven by advances in technology, data science and precision medicine. From AI-powered target identification to novel therapeutic strategies, these innovations are reshaping how we develop treatments for some of the most challenging diseases. As the field evolves, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a key player fueling growth through groundbreaking research, regional collaborations and a thriving biotech ecosystem.

Our event will focus on:

  • AI and machine learning applications in drug discovery and development
  • Strategies to target previously “undruggable” proteins and pathways
  • Advances in biomarker discovery, validation, and companion diagnostics
  • Regulatory and CMC challenges in developing advanced therapies
  • Innovations in oncology, rare disease, and neurodegenerative drug development
  • The role of spatial omics and morphogenomic analysis in disease modeling
  • Strengthening academia-industry-government collaborations to drive innovation
