The DMCCB comprises about 750 scientists interested in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and related fields of research. It organizes scientific events such as the Basel mini-symposiums, the Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology session of the SCS annual meeting, and every second year co-organizes the Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry congress together with the German GDCh. It also offers a high-quality, bi-annual Medicinal Chemistry Course which takes place in Leysin. Beyond Switzerland, the DMCCB interacts with other country organizations to represent the Swiss medicinal chemistry and chemical biology community.
