2nd Molecules Medicinal Chemistry Symposium - Facing Novel Challenges in Drug Discovery

2nd Molecules Medicinal Chemistry Symposium (MMCS) - Facing Novel Challenges in Drug Discovery is organized by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) - Spain and will be held from May 15 - 17, 2019 at Auditori AXA, Barcelona, Spain.

Course Description:
The publisher of the open-access journal Molecules and follows the very successful one-day meeting, Molecules Medicinal Chemistry Symposium (MMCS): Emerging Drug Discovery Approaches against Infectious Diseases, held in September 2017 at the School of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the University of Barcelona, Spain, which turned out to be a very fruitful forum for discussion on the specific topic of anti-infective drug discovery, in an excellent atmosphere created by the more than 70 attendees from 18 countries.

Encouraged by the great success of the initial small-format monographic MMCS2017, the three-day MMCS2019 will grow naturally by addressing a larger audience and essentially all topics of medicinal chemistry. The MMCS2019 will be organized into a number of thematic sessions on medicinal chemistry of particularly challenging diseases, novel and revisited drug discovery approaches, and medicinal chemistry stories about recently implemented projects in any area not covered in the other sessions, from target and hit identification to hit-to-lead optimization, tuning of physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, preclinical and clinical development, etc.

Course Sessios:
• Molecules against Cancer
• Targeting Protein Degradation in Drug Discovery
• In the Pursuit of Novel Drugs and Molecular Targets (sponsored by the IBUB – Drug and Target Discovery)
• New Avenues in Kinetic Target-Guided Synthesis
• Medicinal Chemistry Tales

Workshop:
• Visual Ideation & Decision Assistance for Every Drug Researcher - The hands-on workshop is free of charge and will take place on Wednesday 15 May 2019 / 13:30 – 14:15 at the main Conference Hall.

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