The International Conference 2025 for Drug Discovery and Development, organized by the Laboratory for Synthetic Chemistry and Chemical Biology Limited (LSCCB), took place successfully in Hong Kong from March 17 to 19, 2025. The three-day event facilitated in-depth discussions on various topics, including synthetic chemistry, chemical biology, diagnostics, theranostics, and multi-omics. During the conference, Stephanie presented on the team’s recent research, focusing on the use of a chemical biology approach to discover a small molecule inhibitor targeting the oncometabolite AGPAT4. Special thanks to Prof. CM Che for the invitation to speak at the event.
