The NSW Drug Discovery Forum was launched in 2023 as a limited institutional event. After achieving landmark success, the forum was expanded to welcome researchers based across NSW & ACT. In partnership with ARCS Australia, the forum has evolved to become an annual platform which brings together world-class researchers and expert industry panellists.
