What does the future of cancer drug development look like?

Computational and Medicinal Chemistry by the Lake 2026 is currently taking place in Kuopio, bringing together researchers and experts in computational medicinal chemistry, medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.

Kuopio Health is proud to be one of the sponsors of the symposium and is also participating in the event, engaging with researchers and industry professionals.

One of the fascinating presentations featured during the symposium was delivered by Larisa Ivanova (University of Tartu). She presented research on the development of novel ALKBH5 inhibitors using fragment-based drug design. In this approach, drug candidates are built from small chemical fragments to fit their target with high precision.

This research is an excellent example of how combining biology, chemistry and computational methods can open new possibilities for cancer treatment.

💡 Over the course of the three-day symposium, participants are exploring the latest advances in areas such as AI-assisted drug discovery, molecular modelling, structure-based drug design and other cutting-edge approaches shaping the future of medicinal chemistry.

💡Mitä jos hoito ei päättyisikään vastaanottokäyntiin ja potilaan hämmennykseen siitä, mitä hän voisi itse tehdä, vaan jatkuisi sujuvasti osana potilaan arkea?

Kuopio Healthin jäsen Healthfoxin ratkaisu on digitaalinen hoitoalusta, joka tuo yhteen potilaan, ammattilaiset ja hoitopolun kaikki vaiheet. Tavoitteena on parempi hoito, parempi potilaskokemus ja vaikuttavampi terveydenhuolto.

HealthFOXin toimitusjohtaja Kimmo Korhonen kiteyttää ajatuksiaan haastattelussa:
"Se, mitä me ollaan lähdetty tekemään, on integraatioalusta, joka kokoaa potilaan kaiken tarvittavan tiedon yhteen paikkaan ammattilaisille ja tukee potilasta oman hoidon arjessa."

Ratkaisu on jo auttanut parantamaan hoidon saavutettavuutta ja tukemaan potilaiden kuntoutumista niin Suomessa kuin kansainvälisestikin.
