Call for Abstracts: European Molecular Biology Laboratory Conference Series: Chemical Biology 2012
EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Wednesday 26 September - Saturday 29 September 2012
Abstract submission deadline is 19 July 2012.
We only accept online abstract submissions.
Why You Should Attend
Chemical Biology is a quickly growing highly interdisciplinary field, which investigates biological questions by using chemical strategies and tools. It has emerged to become an important and central discipline by itself complementing areas such as medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, cell biology, structural biology and biochemistry. Researchers in Chemical Biology find themselves at home in the chemistry and the biology lab and fuse the experimental possibilities that both have to offer.
Aims of event
The biennial series aims to give an overview on the current status of the fast evolving field and an outlook to where the field is heading. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for scientists using diverse research approaches and methods to come together and to network. It is structured to enhance exchange and discussions between researchers, for the benefit of their own research as well as for the progress of the field.
Topics
The conference will cover a broad area of approaches and methods used in Chemical Biology including:
Molecular imaging and switching tools
Computational and structural approaches
Innovative drug design approaches
Chemical genetics and high throughput methods
Novel synthetic methods as applied to biological questions
Chemical protein engineering
Chemical cell biology
History of Conference
The conference Chemical Biology 2010 was held at the new Advanced training Centre at EMBL Heidelberg. Due to the large success of the initial conference in 2008, Chemical Biology 2010 and the following conferences in the biennial series became a member of the family of EMBO-funded conferences. With about 30 invited speakers, 20 oral presentations chosen from the abstracts, 180 posters and over 300 participants, the 2010 event was a truly impressive success.
