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.

A joint NCCR Chemical Biology/LS2 satellite meeting is organised prior to the International Symposium on Chemical Biology for students and postdocs. The meeting will include selected short talks given by the young researchers in the presence of two of the plenary speakers. The meeting will be concluded with a Q&A session on Academic Careers, chaired by three chairmen (Prof. Hiroaki Suga, Prof. Evan Miller and Prof. Yamuna Krishnan) and early arriving plenary speakers. Master and PhD students are invited to apply for an oral presentation at this event on the Symposium website. Registration to the main Symposium event is compulsory for attending the Satellite event.
