KSNS 2026 | Meet Medicilon in Suwon: Accelerate Your Drug R&D Path from Idea to IND
The Korean Society of Nonclinical Studies (KSNS) symposium is South Korea’s leading forum for nonclinical research advancements. This year’s event at the Suwon Convention Center highlights breakthroughs in targeted protein degradation (TPD), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), therapeutic peptides, and more. Presentations will also cover the latest findings in pharmacokinetics and toxicology, including animal models, cardiotoxicity, and neurotoxicity.
Key topics:
- Cutting-Edge Therapies: Advances in TPD, ADCs, therapeutic peptides, and theranostic radiopharmaceuticals.
- Next-Generation Models: Organoid platforms, AI and mechanism-based modeling (PBPK/QSP), and non-human primate models.
- Nonclinical Safety: Risk assessment for drug-induced liver injury, advanced biotherapeutic evaluation in non-human primates, and iPSC-derived organoid cardiotoxicity models.
Meet our team on site:
- Mr. Haiming Tang brings over 30 years of preclinical safety and research experience from Roche, Novartis, Relay Therapeutics, and Degron Therapeutics, with expertise in toxicology, safety pharmacology, and cardiovascular pharmacology.
- Dr. Yongmei Xu, Ph.D. from Shanghai Organic Chemistry Institute of China Academy of Sciences and postdoctoral fellow at Stockholm University, has over 20 years of experience in drug discovery R&D. She has led numerous innovative pharmaceutical R&D projects at Medicilon.
