What Can You Expect in 2026?
Molecular glues are transforming drug discovery, unlocking novel targets once believed to be undruggable. With the market cap projected to soar from $2.1B in 2023 to $5.6B by 2030, momentum is building fast with clinical successes and landmark deals - in 2025 alone, Magnet Bio struck a $1.2 billion deal with Eli Lilly, Kymera Therapeutics and Gilead Sciences entered a $750 million partnership, and Orionis Biosciences announced a $105 million collaboration with Genentech! Yet discovery remains the key bottleneck. The 4th Molecular Glue Drug Development Summit will equip you with the cutting-edge strategies, tools, and insights needed to design, discover, and advance the next generation of molecular glues into the clinic.Â
