5th Annual GPCRs-Targeted Drug Discovery Summit

5th Annual GPCRs-Targeted Drug Discovery Summit is organized by Hanson Wade and will be held from Apr 28 - 30, 2026 at The Colonnade Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America.

Description:
The GPCR field is experiencing a renaissance, driven by renewed investment, clinical progress, and next-generation technologies unlocking hundreds of previously untargeted receptors. With rapid advances in structural biology, computation, and screening, the race is on to validate new GPCRs, understand dynamic activation mechanisms, and develop assays that better predict therapeutic efficacy and guide smarter candidate selection.

Returning as the only industry-led meeting dedicated to GPCR drug discovery, the 5th GPCR-Targeted Drug Discovery Summit features a jam-packed agenda featuring new expert voices, and fresh insights spanning the latest targets, tools, and therapeutic strategies.

Join 80+ GPCR-focused leaders across biopharma to share insights, build collaborations, and accelerate next-generation therapeutics from discovery to clinic.
