Huge Congrats to our PhD Students, Bill, Nick and Jack on their publication - "Fragment-based drug discovery for disorders of the central nervous system: designing better drugs piece by piece".

It has been a pleasure having you here for 8 years. I’m sure you will continue to excel.

Celebrating Alison’s 8 year tenure in the Kassiou Group before she jets off to London! You have had a huge impact on the group, thankyou for all your work and good luck!

🧩Fragment Based Drug Discovery is an exciting alternative method to develop new central nervous system active drugs. DDI researchers and co-authors explore recent compelling examples of FBDD and its utility. Read the review here 🔗 bit.ly/3JDlkaZ
