RSC-BMCS 35th Medicinal Chemistry in Eastern England
Known colloquially as the “Hatfield MedChem” meeting*, this is a highly successful, long-standing, one-day meeting that runs annually. The scientific program will comprise presentations showcasing medicinal chemistry case studies from tools to candidates, across a range of modalities, therapeutic areas and target classes, as well as covering more general topics at the forefront of drug discovery. The meeting aims to be informal and interactive, and is ideal for all those working in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery more widely.

BMCS Hot Topics: Covalent Drug Discovery 2024
Covalent binding has emerged as a key strategy in contemporary drug discovery. This online, half-day meeting will bring together experts from both academia and industry to discuss recent advances in using covalent small molecules to target challenging protein targets.
The BMCS Hot Topics online meetings are intended to highlight breaking areas of research in fields of science relevant to drug discovery. They will run as stand-alone half-day virtual events, 2-3 times per year. The programme will be targeted towards researchers working who would like to enhance their understanding of these nascent or developing fields.

4th Synthesis in Drug Discovery and Development
Synthesis is at the heart of drug discovery and development. The industry has increasingly demanded higher quality clinical candidates and has sought to exploit less druggable biological targets. Densely functionalised small molecules with a high degree of synthetic complexity are often the result of these demands. Successful programmes therefore require the application of innovative synthesis in all stages of discovery and development. The medicinal chemist’s toolbox is also enhanced by the introduction of novel bioisosteres, often made available only through the application of new synthetic methods. This symposium aims to celebrate the crucial role of synthesis in the success of drug discovery and development.

RICT 2024 - 58th International Conference on Medicinal Chemistry
The French Medicinal Chemistry Society (Société de Chimie Thérapeutique - SCT) is pleased to invite you to Bordeaux, France on July 3-5, 2024 for the 58th edition of the International Conference on Medicinal Chemistry (RICT 2024).
The congress will be devoted to "Interfacing Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery" and will feature 20 plenary lectures and 6 short lectures.
As for previous editions of RICT, the scientific committee will ensure the high quality and diversity of the scientific programme together with the accessibility of the meeting to PhD/post-doc and local Master students. For the latter, an advantageous registration fee will be proposed.
In addition, a poster session will provide the opportunity for all participants to present their current results. Poster prizes will be attributed at the end of the meeting.
A limited number of grants will be funded by the SCT and Corporate Sponsors to support the participation of young academic scientists presenting a poster at the conference. Find out more.
Moreover, a special career session will be organised with industrial and academic participants.
We look forward welcoming you in Bordeaux!

Chemical Biology Ireland Conference 2024
This 2-day conference will focus on the chemistry of peptides, glycans, nucleic acids and metabolites and will feature a selection of international and national speakers. There will also be a poster session and the opportunity for early career researchers to present a short talk.
The chemical biology community in Ireland is a small tight-knit group and this conference serves to further develop our links internationally and to ensure that our young researchers get to interact with their national and international peers and be inspired by leading scientists at the cutting-edge of this fascinating interdisciplinary area of research. It would be a pleasure if you were able to join us in 2024.
All participants are encouraged to present a poster. There will also be six 20-minute presentation slots for early-career researchers (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral associates and emerging investigators). More information on abstract submission (deadlines, template and an upload facility) can be found under the Abstract Submission tab. Deadlines are indicated below:
- Friday April 12th 2024: For early-career researchers with consideration for a 20-minute presentation slot.
- Friday June 21st 2024: For all delegates who would like to present a poster presentation.
