Targeted Protein Degradation Barcelona Summit 2026

Rewriting the Rules of Drug Discovery: From PROTACs to Molecular Glues

Welcome to the TPD Summit 2026

The Targeted Protein Degradation Summit 2026 is a premier global gathering of scientists, biotech leaders, and innovators transforming drug discovery through the degradation of disease-driving proteins.

Across two dynamic days in Barcelona, we’ll dive deep into the latest advances in PROTACs, molecular glues, novel ligase targeting, and emerging platforms like LYTACs and DUBTACs. From early discovery to the clinic, the field is evolving rapidly — and this event is your opportunity to stay ahead, form partnerships, and help shape the future of small-molecule precision medicine.
