Panel Discussion | Functional genomics for target identification: What has been achieved, what are the current challenges and what are the future opportunities

Tuesday, February 6, 2024

This panel discussion focuses on the vital role of functional genomics in early drug discovery, especially on the use of both pooled and arrayed CRISPR knockout screens. It will cover the need for predictive models in target identification, challenges in different fields like oncology and neuroscience, and the trade-offs in using different cell models for CRISPR screening. The panel will also debate new techniques to improve CRISPR screening outcomes and innovative strategies beyond traditional loss-of-function approaches to identify effective targets for disease research and drug discovery.
