RICT 2018 - Interfacing Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery

RICT 2018 - Interfacing Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery is organized by Therapeutic Chemistry Society / Société de Chimie Thérapeutique (SCT), University of Strasbourg and will be held from Jul 04 - 06, 2018 at Palace of Music and Congress, Strasbourg, Alsace, France.

54th edition of the International Conference on Medicinal Chemistry (RICT 2018).

Topics:
New Opportunities for Metabolic and Cardiovascular Diseases

• Exploring novel pathways for the next generation drugs
• Non-small molecule approaches in metabolic & cardiovascular disorders

New Breakthroughs in GPCR Structure, Function and their Impact on Drug Discovery
• Exploring GPCR heterodimers as a source of drugs
• New biophysics developments in GPCR structure and function

New Modalities for Challenging Targets in Drug Discovery
• Exploring novel chemical space: scaffolds inspired by nature, conjugates, alternative scaffolds, oligonucleotides, macrocyclic and constrained peptides
• Tackling biological targets from different angles: protein degradation (PROTAC)

Chemical Biology in Drug Discovery: Visualizing Biological Processes
• Imaging biological targets and cellular processes
• Probing biological systems with small molecules

Tackling Challenges in Drug Delivery and Formulation
• Making the insoluble soluble
• Novel solutions to stabilize & deliver peptides/proteins

Case Studies: from Target Validation to Novel Drugs (all therapeutic areas included)

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
