PhysChem FORUM 18

Introduction

The 18th PhysChem forum is announced. The meeting, "Medicines of tomorrow: new therapeutic modalities" will be hosted by Sanofi at their Frankfurt site in Germany on 23rd and 24th May 2019. The discussions will centre around new opportunities in the treatment of diseases with especially challenging drug-gable biological targets, using non-classical molecules outside the usual "rule of five" chemical space. The meeting will start around 6pm on the 23rd and conclude around 5pm on the 24th. The plenary lecture will be delivered by Dr Leonardo De Maria (AstraZeneca, Gothenburg) and will be followed by dinner at the Lindner Congress Hotel. PhysChem Forum's meetings are free to attend and delegates are not charged for registration, however delegates will have to pay their own expenses including dinner at the plenary lecture (if they wish to attend), travel, and accommodation.

Meeting sponsors
