High Throughput Chemistry and Chemical Biology (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

June 1 - 2, 2013
Chairs Jacqueline Wurst and Joanna Loh
Colby-Sawyer College
541 Main Street
New London, New Hampshire, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on High Throughput Chemistry & Chemical Biology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is on methodological and technological advances in the field of Chemistry and Chemical Biology that have led to systematic, de novo production of small molecules to probe biological processes with a therapeutic impact.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "High Throughput Chemistry and Chemical Biology" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
