Medicinal Chemistry conferences

Chemistry and neuroscience meet in a French-language programme on brain disorders and treatments. Topics include delivering drugs to the brain, obstacles in neurodegenerative therapy, translational medicine, marine natural products, exposure biomarkers and lysosomal approaches. Afternoon research addresses membranes in Alzheimer’s disease, copper chelators, multifunctional molecules and natural products, followed by a lecture on memory. The programme runs 09:00–17:00 Paris time on 4 November. In-person attendance is free with advance registration by 25 October; lunch depends on capacity, with school groups prioritised.

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.

A one-day scientific exchange for students, early-career researchers, academics and professionals working in computational biophysics, structural biology, bioinformatics, computational chemistry and drug discovery. Presentations and interactive sessions examine computational approaches to drug design, with discussion, research-development conversations, mentorship and collaboration opportunities. The event emphasizes strengthening research connections in Ghana and the wider African scientific community. The programme runs from 08:00 to 17:00 GMT, including afternoon computational-biophysics and drug-discovery sessions.

This symposium connects academic and industrial work on automated chemistry, from robotic solid/liquid handling and flow chemistry to reaction monitoring, purification, algorithms and experiment design. Scientific sessions examine automated chemistry data workflows, agentic high-throughput synthesis, kinetic measurements and mechanistic models, data-driven purification and AI-assisted R&D. It serves researchers, students and industrial chemists using automation in organic, medicinal and process chemistry. The 24 November programme has registration at 10:00, opening remarks at 10:30, scientific presentations from 10:35 to 16:10 and a networking reception at 16:15 (London local time, GMT). Early-bird registration ends 27 October: SCI members GBP 105, nonmembers GBP 135 and student members GBP 55. Later rates are GBP 150, GBP 185 and GBP 95 respectively. Event-account registration is available to nonmembers.

A symposium on conformational design in small-molecule drug discovery, connecting computational prediction with NMR solution conformations and protein–ligand structures from crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Topics include generative models, free-energy calculations, ligand rigidification and physicochemical optimisation for protein-interaction inhibitors, PROTACs, molecular glues and antibody–drug-conjugate payloads. Intended for medicinal and computational chemists, structural biologists, biophysicists and NMR specialists; prior conformational-design experience is unnecessary. Oral and poster abstracts are due 11 December 2026. Registration has not yet opened.
