Before the blockbuster: What's happening at the bench right now

April 15, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET | Boston + Hybrid

The early days of R&D are messy, expensive and full of dead ends — and they're also where the most interesting science is happening right now.

We're sitting down with the researchers working at the sharp end of discovery to talk new targets, emerging tech and what it actually takes to push something from the bench into the clinic.

Drug Discovery Day starts with a virtual program in the morning, then moves to Row 34 in Cambridge for a happy hour and fireside chat. Virtual is open to all — tickets required for the in-person event. Join us.

Choose your Drug Discovery pass — virtual or virtual plus in-person-only fireside and happy hour. Limited happy hour tickets available.
