About Us
The Triad Drug Discovery Group (TDDG) holds open events for the scientific community in the Piedmont Triad region on topics of drug discovery sciences and biotechnology. Participants include students, postdoctoral fellows, scientists (at all levels), academic faculty, and others. The goal is to engage the scientific community from academia and industry in regular meetings to discuss hot topics in fundamental sciences in the path from biological target and/or bioactive compounds leading into preclinical lead compounds and novel drug discovery. Meetings encourage discussions and collaborations across multiple disciplines that foster translational research and development of novel medicines.
