Drug repurposing has become increasingly crucial in addressing the growing healthcare costs prevalent in today's society. Expediting the availability of drugs in the market is essential to make a significant impact on healthcare and ensure that patients can benefit from our research.

Preceding on two successful editions, our 3th Drug Repurposing workshop will take place on November 27^th. Are you working on or interested in drug repurposing and want to know more about the projects your drug repurposing colleagues are working on?
