Conference Introduction

Across two dynamic days in Barcelona, we’ll dive deep into the latest advances in PROTACs, molecular glues, novel ligase targeting, and emerging platforms like LYTACs and DUBTACs. From early discovery to the clinic, the field is evolving rapidly — and this event is your opportunity to stay ahead, form partnerships, and help shape the future of small- molecule precision medicine.

6 Key Themes for the TPD Summit 2025

  1. Innovations in Degrader Chemistry: Advancing bifunctional and monovalent degraders: PROTACs, glues, covalent binders 

  2. Expanding the E3 Ligase Toolbox: Novel ligases, tissue specificity, and targeted degradation strategies

  3. Structural Biology & Rational Design: Ternary complex dynamics, modeling, and degrader-enabled selectivity

  4. PK/PD, Bioavailability & Drug-Like Properties: Oral delivery, blood–brain barrier access, and degradation kinetics

  5. Clinical Translation & Biomarker Strategies: First-in-human studies, pharmacodynamic endpoints, and trial design

  6. Emerging Modalities in Protein Degradation: LYTACs, AUTACs, DUBTACs, and new frontiers in subcellular targeting
