Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

I work in the Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery (CCDD) at The Institute of Cancer Research in London, which is an academic drug discovery centre. The mission of the CCDD is to discover novel small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and progress them to hypothesis testing phase 1 clinical trials.
