Heterocyclic Compounds 2014

Established in 1964, the Heterocyclic Compounds meeting is one of the longest running Gordon Research Conferences. This longevity reflects the continuing importance of the subject area to researchers in academic, government and industrial laboratories worldwide, as well as the impact of the problem-solving skills of organic chemists on important challenges in a variety of fields. Recent meetings have expanded inclusion of young scientists, women and minority scientists who are the faces of contemporary heterocyclic chemistry.

In keeping with the GRC mission of exploring the frontiers of science, the 2014 conference will highlight contemporary topics in the synthesis and applications of Heterocyclic Compounds. The diverse line up of invited speakers will present exciting unpublished work in a range of areas including target directed synthesis, cancer research, synthetic methods development, chemistry and the environment, and the treatment of neglected tropical diseases.
