Chemical Biology

The sixth H3D symposium brings scientists and pharmaceutical researchers together around chemistry and biology for infectious diseases. The programme covers drug discovery, chemical biology, medicinal and synthetic chemistry, infectious-disease biology and enabling technologies, with scientific talks, posters and networking. It takes place at the Arabella Hotel, Golf and Spa outside Hermanus, South Africa, from 13 to 16 October 2026. Standard delegate registration is open until 10 October 2026. Abstract submission closed on 15 May and early registration closed on 31 July; those actions are no longer open.

The Southwest Regional Meeting brings researchers to Fort Worth to discuss chemistry across energy, sustainability and biology. The programme spans molecular energy systems, batteries and catalysis, sustainable materials and chemical biology, with general and specialist symposia and a plenary lecture by H. N. Cheng. The meeting takes place at the Hilton Fort Worth from 16 to 19 November 2026. Registration is open, including on-site registration. Abstract submissions closed on 26 August 2026; this listing supports attendance and does not advertise the expired abstract call.

IUPAC and the Canadian Society for Chemistry convene the 51st World Chemistry Congress alongside the 54th IUPAC General Assembly and the 110th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition under the theme Engaging Chemistry.

EMBL-EBI seeks a scientific developer for the Open Targets Safety 2.0 project. The role builds machine-learning and data-processing pipelines that extract drug side-effect evidence from publications, clinical trials and drug labels, map it to biomedical ontologies, and integrate results with ChEMBL and the Open Targets Platform. The researcher will help curate training data, collaborate with pharmaceutical partners and communicate methods and results. This is a full-time hybrid role based in Hinxton, UK. The advert gives a closing date of 11 October 2026 at 23:59 CET.

The University of São Paulo's Institute of Chemistry seeks a postdoctoral fellow to investigate how chemistry mediates interactions between plants and herbivores, with particular emphasis on biotransformations in lepidopteran digestive systems. The position is part of a FAPESP Thematic Project on molecular diversity and the specificity of plant-herbivore interactions.

Support for academic researchers to conduct high-throughput screening using AstraZeneca’s compound library and screening infrastructure. The January 2027 round is open to all targets and provides awards up to GBP270,000. Projects must be directed by an eligible research lead actively engaged in the work. Commercial-led applications and collaborations involving additional commercial parties are excluded. Apply through UKRI’s Funding Service by 28 January 2027 at 16:00 UK time.

RIKEN's Catalysis and Integrated Research Group is recruiting one postdoctoral researcher to develop radical fluoroalkylation reactions for the KAKENHI project Understanding the Distinct Reactivity of Fluorinated Radical Species and Developing Novel Molecular Transformations. The work combines catalytic reaction development, synthetic organic chemistry and chemical-biology applications. The official call is open until the position is filled, with employment expected to begin as early as possible.
