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.
TopicsThe 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
