Drug repurposing aims to find novel therapeutic uses for existing drugs that have been approved or investigated. The approach has gained significant interest in the scientific community as well as the general public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted not only immense opportunities but also challenges in repurposing efforts.

Our second Biochemical Society Drug repurposing scientific meeting will provide an interdisciplinary discussion and networking platform that welcomes attendees from the academic, industrial, clinical and regulatory field.

Besides oral and poster presentations highlighting both computational and experimental approaches, the programme also includes focused and interactive workshops to encourage the scientific exchange related to key topics such as regulatory aspects and practical challenges along the drug repurposing pipeline.

All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication.

We hope to see you in London!
