Mastering Medicinal Chemistry Summit 2012

More information on Mastering Medicinal Chemistry Summit

CHI’s Mastering Medicinal Chemistry Summit in San Francisco, now in its ninth year. This well established and popular annual event will once again showcase informative, high quality case studies, cutting edge solutions to challenging problems, and successful medicinal chemistry strategies. Innovative medicinal chemistry in CRO’s and smaller companies will also be featured on this year’s program, as well as discussion on enabling industry to benefit from academic chemistry. Technology sessions will highlight current approaches and philosophies around fragment-based medicinal chemistry with special coverage of fragment detection. Property-based design and recent trends in flow chemistry will also be featured. Back by popular demand is the Hot Targets to Watch session—this year’s presentations will include successful strategies with challenging targets such as protein-protein, allosteric, GPCR and beyond. Special coverage of the kinase inhibitor field, including selectivity concerns, will be discussed.
