Dear Members of the Division of Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology

The objectives of the DMCCB are to organize scientific events, provide education in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology, as well as to facilitate networking and increase the visibility of our community.

The twelve members of the DMCCB board are doing their best to achieve these objectives, organizing congresses, courses and regularly communicating information of relevance to our members. If you have suggestions or ideas how to improve our efforts, please let us know: you can contact any of us. And of course, you are welcome to actively contribute to the DMCCB activities, just let us know.

Highlights from the DMCCB

2017 started well: For the first time the FiMC (Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry symposium, February 12-15th, 2017) took place in Switzerland (Bern). This international symposium was jointly organized by the DMCCB, the GDCh and DPhG and focused on new trends and success stories in targeted protein degradation approaches, immuno-oncology, liver diseases, CADD, hit and lead discovery, as well as a series of chemical biology and drug discovery highlights. The scientific quality and diversity of the talks was outstanding. A satellite meeting co-organized with LS2 (Life Sciences Switzerland) for master and PhD students interested in Medicinal Chemistry was highly appreciates as well. A congress report is in preparation. We will keep you up to date regarding its publication.

Did you know…

… that the preparations for the EFMC-ISMC 2020 in Basel have started already? Besides early activities in Basel, the DMCCB is represented in the International Organizing Committee for the EFMC-ISMC 2018, which will take place in Ljubljana (Slovenia). To complement our scientific contribution, we’re learning and observing, to make sure that we are ready when the Big Day comes!
