Dear colleague,
On behalf of the organising committee and the Asian Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (AFMC), it is my great pleasure to invite you to AIMECS2017, the 11th in our series of International Medicinal Chemistry Symposia (AIMECS).
We have chosen to run AIMECS2017 alongside the Centenary Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) Congress in July 2017 in Melbourne, Australia. Our theme reflects this focus on Chemistry: Chemistry in Drug Discovery, Design & Development.
AIMECS2017 will run from Monday, 24 July, to Wednesday, 26 July, preceded by the Congress Welcome on Sunday evening.
Our program comprises several sessions organised or sponsored by Professional Societies and Journals with the following keynote speakers confirmed so far:
The American Chemical Society (ACS) sessions on Epigentic Targets:
Stuart Conway, Takayoshi Suzuki, Pat Woster
The European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry sessions on Computer-Aided Drug Design:
Gisbert Schneider, Rebecca Wade
Sessions sponsored by the ACS journals J Med Chem and ACS Med Chem Letts on Computer-Aided Drug Design:
Hualiang Jiang
Sessions sponsored by the same journals on Neglected Diseases: an Asian Perspective:
Paul Keller, Michael Pollastri
The RACI Plenary Speaker, Molly Stevens, will give a second keynote talk in a session on Regenerative Medicine and Biomaterials.
Our joint conference dinner will be held after a joint poster session with the RACI Division of Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology and AHeDD2017 on Wednesday evening, 26 July.
Please note that the Medicinal Chemistry content of the Centenary Congress continues on Thursday and Friday, 27 and 28 July.
Why not register for those two days, as well!
