54th Bürgenstock Conference 2019

According to its long tradition, the 54th Bürgenstock Conference 2019 will again be interdisciplinary, covering many areas of chemistry in its main body, but allowing also for relevant highlights from neighboring disciplines, with due focus on structural and mechanistic aspects in all contributions.

The program consists of 13 plenary lectures (60 minutes), each followed by a discussion session of 30 minutes. Thus, there will be ample time for each topic to be presented fully and examined from different angles and perspectives. Lectures and discussions are held in the mornings and the evenings. The afternoons are free for recreation, informal discussions, and poster sessions.

  • Hagan Bayley, «Protein Pores as nonreactors for single-molecules»
  • Peng Chen, «Bioorthogonal protein activation in space and time: from living cells to living animals»
  • Dario Neri, «From encoded combinationatorial libraries to targeted therapeutics»
