The XXVIII EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry, organised by the Medicinal Chemistry Division of the Società Chimica Italiana, on behalf of the European Federation for Medicinal chemistry and Chemical biology, will take place in Rome from 1-5 September 2024.
The European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology (EFMC) represents the European Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology community, comprising 30 member societies and approximately 9,000 members. Its biennial symposium, EFMC-ISMC, is a prominent event in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, drawing around 1,000 industry and academic participants.
The event includes five open sessions, a Breakfast Round Table Discussion, and the discussion of a variety of topics on these three main themes:
Chemical Biology
Drug Discovery Projects
Technologies
Plenary sessions with lectures by Prof. David MacMillan (Princeton University, US), Prof. Véronique Gouverneur (University of Oxford, UK), Dr Emma Parmee (Janssen Pharmaceutica, US) will be featured.
