Chemical Biology conferences

Early-career industrial chemists present research from pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agrochemical settings, connecting academic chemistry with the practical constraints of industrial discovery and development. The programme examines digital route design for KRAS inhibitors, principal-component analysis of pharmaceutical oils, antibody modification by sulfur(VI)-fluoride exchange, photochemical oligonucleotide synthesis, flow photoredox chemistry, molecular-glue synthesis and ERAP1 inhibitor discovery. A closing keynote considers digital strategy in industrial chemistry. Talks include discussion, with prizes for presentations and opportunities for scientific exchange. Thursday 5 November 2026, Europe/London (GMT): registration at 10:00, scientific talks from 10:35, keynote at 15:25, prize-giving at 16:10 and a networking reception from 16:20. Attendance is free, with advance registration closing on 26 October at 16:00. An SCI account or event-account registration is required. The meeting welcomes industrial and academic chemists, including graduates and postgraduates.

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. On-site registration is available. Abstract submissions closed on 26 August 2026; this listing supports attendance and does not advertise the expired abstract call.

IKCOC-16 brings academic and industrial chemists and engineers together to examine advances in organic chemistry and related disciplines. The scientific programme connects improved efficiency in organic synthesis with the synthesis of materials and applications in the life sciences. Plenary, invited and contributed lectures, poster discussions and the IKCOC Prize lecture provide forums for comparing research approaches and exchanging findings. Confirmed participants include prize recipient Eric N. Jacobsen, Erick M. Carreira and Hiroaki Suga. The conference takes place in person at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto on 16–19 November 2026. Times are Japan Standard Time (Asia/Tokyo, UTC+9). Registration is 14:00–16:00 on 16 November, followed by the opening ceremony at 16:00 and opening lecture at 16:45. Scientific sessions run 09:00–16:40 on 17 and 18 November, with posters 16:40–18:40. On 19 November, sessions run 09:00–16:00 and closing remarks finish at 16:15. Lectures and formal discussions are in English. Online registration closes at 23:59 JST on 31 October. Standard fees are JPY 60,000 for active participants and JPY 25,000 for students, who must provide valid student identification. The banquet is extra. Registrations are currently non-refundable.

This EMBO Workshop brings together researchers studying chemical crosstalk among marine microorganisms, spanning metabolite-mediated ecological interactions, analytical chemistry, microscale fluid dynamics, cell biology and omics-based microbial ecology.
