Join Us at Drafts & Discoveries: A Scientific Exchange in South San Francisco

Co-hosted by EditCo, Promega & Ncardia

We’re pleased to invite you to Drafts & Discoveries, a curated scientific exchange bringing together researchers at the forefront of genome engineering, targeted protein degradation, and next-generation cell model development.

Hosted by EditCo, Promega, and Ncardia, this event will explore how engineered cell models and advanced assay technologies are helping researchers study protein dynamics, quantify degradation, and accelerate discovery across PROTAC, molecular glue, and other drug discovery workflows.

Hear directly from scientists applying these approaches in their research, connect with fellow researchers, and enjoy coffee, fruit, refreshments, and drinks throughout the afternoon.

📅 Date and time: Oct 8th, 2026, 1–6 PM

📍 Location: Timber + Tide

Address: 685 Gateway Blvd., South San Francisco, CA 94080

⏳ Limited capacity — registration required
