Further, Together

15-16 June 2027

London, United Kingdom

INTERNATIONAL DRUG REPURPOSING CONFERENCE

Join the leading international drug repurposing conference by REMEDi4ALL and Beacon for Rare Diseases to explore how we can move promising science, ideas, and collaborations further towards patient impact.

#iDR27 will follow the repurposing journey from the environment needed for new ideas to thrive, through scientific methods and clinical development, to translation, implementation, and patient access. Across plenary and interconnected pathway sessions, the conference will bring together different perspectives to share progress, examine barriers and identify practical routes to patient access.

What Makes iDR27 Unmissable

”iDR is my favorite conference because, unlike most events where you leave feeling drained and exhausted, I inevitably leave iDR feeling energised and optimistic about what we can achieve working together. The conference is an excellently crafted, strategically designed event to maximise what each attendee gets out of it. They don’t just talk the talk, they actually walk the walk when it comes to featuring the voices of patients. I appreciate the mixture of lectures, panel discussions, and networking opportunities that are provided.

”Looking for drug repurposing strategies and a significant network to support this? This is the place to be.

”If you need an inspiration for your drug repurposing research or to find new opportunities, please come to iDR.

”The iDR conference series is a truly global event bringing together the best of the best in drug repurposing and repositioning, with the patients at the heart of the programme.

”Good way to connect all the actors across the process of drug repurposing.
