Leiden Early Drug Discovery & Development

LED3 Lectures

The LED3 hub, consisting of researchers from the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC), the Institute of Biology Leiden (IBL) and the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR), is very excited to organize the “LED3 Lectures”. This lecture series brings world-leading researchers in the field of early drug discovery to our university and exposes our students to the many different aspects of top science conducted in this area.

Furthermore, it strengthens the network and the active exchange of researchers across our three member institutes and, in this way, fosters interdisciplinary research at Leiden University and beyond.

The LED3 Lectures are held approximately once a month. The format is a 45 min lecture followed by a Q&A session and an informal "meet-and-greet" outside the lecture hall, in which interested participants can get in direct contact with the speakers.
