Synopsis
Synthesis is at the heart of drug discovery and development. The industry has increasingly demanded higher quality clinical candidates and has sought to exploit less druggable biological targets. Densely functionalised small molecules with a high degree of synthetic complexity are often the result of these demands. Successful programmes therefore require the application of innovative synthesis in all stages of discovery and development. The medicinal chemist’s toolbox is also enhanced by the introduction of novel bioisosteres, often made available only through the application of new synthetic methods. This symposium aims to celebrate the crucial role of synthesis in the success of drug discovery and development.

Who should attend?
Chemists from industry and academia, including synthetic, medicinal, agroscience, and process chemists.

Call for Abstracts
The organising committee are accepting abstracts for either a short talk (10-minute talk) or a full talk (40-minute talk). To support our goal of promoting the next generation of chemists in synthetic, medicinal, agrochemical, and process chemistry, abstracts are particularly welcome from PhD students and other early career scientists.
