Dr. Woody Sherman, Silicon Therapeutics to lead Fall 2019 iCons Workshop

Dr. Woody Sherman

UMass iCons is pleased to host Dr. Woody Sherman, Chief Science Officer for Silicon Therapeutics, to run the Fall 2019 Integrative Science Workshop entitled, "Mission Impossible: Designing Drugs for Challenging Targets".  Silicon Therapeutics, an innovative company in this space, is headquartered in both Boston, MA and Suzhou, China.

Dr. Sherman will run an iCons-like case study on drug design: sharing information on public health and biochemistry aspects of the problem, challenging students to come up with novel solutions, and then sharing the Silicon Therapeutics solution strategy. It will be a fascinating evening of interdisciplinary science in service of solving a real-world problem.

The entire UMass community is invited to this event on November 6, 2019, from 6pm-8pm, located in the Integrative Learning Center, Room S131.
