Nordic Life Science Days 2026 : Taros Chemicals at the German Pavilion​

Taros will exhibit at Nordic Life Science Days (NLSDays) 2026, taking place on 

8–9 September 2026 at Kistamässan in Stockholm, Sweden.

 

Meet us at the German Pavilion, Booth C07.04, and discover how Taros supports pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with chemistry-led integrated drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, hit-to-lead and lead optimisation programmes.

Supporting Drug Discovery from Hit Identification to Lead Optimisation

Taros Discovery supports small-molecule drug discovery programmes from hit identification through hit-to-lead, lead optimisation and candidate selection.

Our chemistry-led drug discovery platform brings together complementary capabilities including:

  • Medicinal and synthetic chemistry
  • Hit validation and hit expansion
  • Hit-to-lead and lead optimisation
  • Computational chemistry and molecular modelling
  • DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) screening
  • Parallel chemistry and compound-library synthesis
  • Custom synthesis
  • Process development and scale-up chemistry

For programmes requiring additional biology, ADME, DMPK, structural biology, toxicology or other specialist capabilities, Taros coordinates established partner expertise around the chemistry programme.

Connecting DEL Hit Discovery with Medicinal Chemistry

Early hit identification is only the beginning of a successful drug discovery programme.

Taros works closely with Serengen GmbH to connect innovative DNA-Encoded Library technology with downstream medicinal chemistry and lead optimisation.

Serengen synthesises and screens DNA-Encoded Libraries tailored to individual drug discovery projects, providing an efficient route to high-quality starting points for further optimisation.

Promising DEL-derived hits can subsequently progress into Taros programmes for:

  • Hit validation and expansion
  • Off-DNA synthesis
  • Structure-activity relationship development
  • Medicinal chemistry
  • Property optimisation
  • Hit-to-lead
  • Lead optimisation

This connected approach allows clients to move from DEL-enabled hit discovery into broader drug discovery support when required, while retaining the flexibility to engage the capabilities most relevant to their programme.

Meet Taros at NLSDays 2026

 

NLSDays provides an opportunity to discuss your discovery programme directly with our team and explore where Taros can contribute scientific expertise and additional chemistry capacity.

Talk to us if you are looking for support with:

  • A new or validated biological target requiring hit identification
  • DEL-enabled hit discovery
  • Hit validation and confirmation
  • Medicinal chemistry and SAR development
  • Hit-to-lead programmes
  • Lead optimisation
  • Computational chemistry
  • Parallel synthesis and compound-library generation
  • Custom synthesis and complex synthetic chemistry
  • Process development and scale-up

Whether you require support for a specific stage of your programme or a more integrated drug discovery collaboration, we would be pleased to discuss your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drug discovery services does Taros provide?

Taros Discovery supports small-molecule drug discovery from hit identification through hit-to-lead, lead optimisation and candidate selection. Its chemistry-led capabilities include medicinal and synthetic chemistry, computational chemistry, DEL-enabled hit identification, parallel chemistry and compound-library production, supported by specialist partners where programmes require complementary biology, ADME, DMPK or development capabilities.

How does DEL screening fit into Taros integrated drug discovery?

Taros works with Serengen to incorporate DNA-Encoded Library screening into its wider drug discovery offering. Serengen’s DEL platform provides project-tailored hit identification, after which selected starting points can progress into Taros hit validation, medicinal chemistry, hit-to-lead and lead optimisation programmes.

Can Taros support a programme from hit identification to lead optimisation?

Yes. Taros can support projects across hit identification, hit validation, medicinal chemistry, hit-to-lead and lead optimisation, with additional specialist capabilities coordinated through its partner network when required.
