The Drummond Lecture 2026
Professor Alessio Ciulli FRS FRSE FRSC
In this lecture, Professor Ciulli will explore how protein degraders, such as PROTACs and molecular glues, are transforming pharmacology from inhibition to targeted protein removal. Drawing on cutting-edge research from his laboratory, he will discuss the molecular mechanisms underpinning degrader function, recent advances in structural and chemical biology, and their application to challenging diseases including cancer and neurodegeneration. The talk will also highlight emerging collaborations between academia and industry that are driving the next generation of therapeutic innovation.
