International Symposium on Chemical Biology 2018

10.01.2018 – 12.01.2018

The international Symposium on Chemical Biology will take place from January 10 to 12, 2018 at Campus Biotech in Geneva. This international meeting of high scientific calibre will bring together leading scientists to feature the latest advances within the broad field of Chemical Biology and foster an open and dynamic dialogue!

We anticipate the participation of researchers with different backgrounds and we plan to offer an environment that will enhance interaction and foster cross-pollination among global researchers from this exciting multidisciplinary field. The meeting will comprise 3 keynote addresses and 12 plenary lectures from outstanding invited speakers in Chemical Biology, covering topics such as protein and DNA origami, proteins engineering, biophysical aspects of cell trafficking, membrane biophysics etc. There will also be four sessions of poster presentations. Three hundred participants from Swiss universities, various research institutes in Switzerland and neighbouring countries are expected to attend.
