Workshop online "In silico and in vitro approaches to assess biodegradability and prioritize environmentally friendly chemotypes of synthetic and natural origin”

We are pleased to announce the workshop “In silico and in vitro approaches to assess biodegradability and prioritize environmentally friendly chemotypes of synthetic and natural origin” organized in the context of the COST Action 21111 OneHealthdrugs – “One Health drugs against parasitic vector-borne diseases in Europe and beyond” (https://onehealthdrugs.com). The COST Action network aims to coordinate the discovery of drugs that stop vector-borne infections in both human and veterinary settings according to the principles of the optimal profile for these organisms, increasing quality and reducing environmental impact.

The workshop is jointly organized by WG1, WG2, WG3 and HG7 and will cover innovative models (in silico and experimental) at the interface of drug discovery for VBDs and (eco)toxicology including biodegradability. This collaborative event will provide a platform for scientists, academics, young researchers and industry professionals to share insights, methodologies, advancements, a pipeline and portfolio of approaches in the pursuit of environmentally conscious antiparasitic drug discovery.
