Prof. François Diederich, ETHZ, receives the 2016 Nauta award for Pharmacochemistry
During the opening session of the EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry, Prof. François Diederich (ETH Zürich), received the Nauta Award for Pharmacochemistry 2016:
"For his outstanding contributions to the science of medicinal chemistry. Prof. François Diederich made essential contributions to the fundamental understanding of non-bonding interactions involved in molecular recognition and their application in modern drug design. His scientific work is documented in more than 700 publications and beautifully describes interactions such as sulfur-aromatics, cation-Pi, fluorine interactions and halogen bonding that are actively used by many scientists around the world in the discovery of novel drugs.”
The Nauta Award acknowledges outstanding results of scientific research in the field of Medicinal Chemistry.
The award ceremony was followed by an impressive lecture from Prof. Diederich focusing on: “Molecular Recognition Studies with Chemical and Biological Systems: A Multi-Dimensional Approach to Support Structure-Based Drug Design”.
Our warmest congratulations!

Peptide Therapeutics Forum 2016
Congress Center Basel
September 20-21.2016
In the framework of the Basel Life Science Week & MipTec Exhibition 2016, the two days “Peptide Therapeutics Forum 2016” focus on “early peptide discovery” and “development candidates for therapeutic peptides”. The first part highlights contributions of ligation chemistry to arrive at larger synthetic peptides/protein, recent insights in peptidic vaccine design, and news from venom drug discovery. Progress in peptide synthesis and case studies including generic half-life extension are foreseen for the second day.
As in the past, this event is thought to disseminate information on latest developments in the broad field of therapeutic peptides and to enable networking of interested parties from academia and industries.
Chairs:
T. Vorherr, Novartis Pharma AG, Basel CH
E. Kitas, Roche Innovation Center, Basel CH
R. Stocklin, Atheris SA, Geneva CH

Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing: Rights and duties in scientific research
The Swiss Academy of Sciences together with the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN organizes the conference “Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing: Rights and duties in scientific research” on the 9th of September 2016 at the Naturhistorisches Museum der Bürgergemeinde Bern, Bernastrasse 15, 3005 Bern.
All non-commercial academic researchers working with genetic resources are invited to participate in this conference.
The goal of this event is to inform the researchers about the ABS system, the Nagoya Protocol and its implementation in Switzerland, the consequences of the Nagoya Protocol for scientific research, the rights and duties relating to Nagoya Protocol and, finally, the supporting tools and the required procedures.
On line registration and programme of the conference.

EFMC-ISMC, Aug 28 - Sep 1, 2016
XXIV EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry
Manchester, UK - August 28 - September 1, 2016
The XXIV EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC-ISMC 2016) will be organised by the Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS) of the Royal Society of Chemistry, on behalf of the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC).
The EFMC is the main organisation for European Medicinal Chemistry community, with 25 member societies and about 7.500 members. Its biennial EFMC-ISMC is a key symposium in its field and attracts traditionally around 1200 participants, from industry and academia. Recent EFMC-ISMC meetings have taken place in Austria (Vienna, 2008), Belgium (Brussels, 2010), Germany (Berlin, 2012) and most recently in Portugal (Lisbon, 2014).
