Each year, Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) aims to connect the community by running a short series of weekly webinars: “MDC Connects”. We invite experts from the community and within MDC to deliver the sessions. Our goal is to educate, inform, and advise the community on the discovery of medicines.
2024 was an informative series outlining the journey from innovation to commercialisation.
