EFMC-YSN MedChemBioOnline

The Young Scientists Network (YSN) of the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC) decided to launch MedChemBioOnline, a series of monthly webinars which will mix science, soft-skills trainings and round table discussions.

This series of webinars has been created to meet the current needs of our scientific community to continue interacting and sharing ideas and innovation, as well as providing early career scientists with opportunities to listen to outstanding scientists and expand their knowledge. 

What do you want to see next? 

We are really keen to hear your feedback, receive ideas for soft-skill trainings or speakers' suggestions. 

Please get in touch with us:

Synple Chem is a developer of new organic synthesis technologies. Our automated capsule-based synthesizers work analogously to capsule coffee makers - simply add the starting material and a commercially available, single-use, disposable reagent capsule, then with a single touch of a button, the product is generated, isolated and purified!
