Oct 29, 2026
Discovery Biology

• How large-scale functional and omics datasets, interrogated through systematic unbiased approaches, can reveal high-confidence oncology targets 
• Real-world examples of targets identified through this approach that are now in preclinical development and clinical trials
• Practical lessons on what it takes to go from dataset exploration to validated, pipeline-ready oncology targets
