Chemistry Enabling Advances and Discoveries in Biology and Medicine

The Gordon Research Seminar on High Throughput Chemistry and 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 chemical approaches to elucidating and solving outstanding problems in biomedicine. We will discuss recent advances in synthetic, medicinal, and analytical chemistry that enable the structures and functions of molecules of therapeutic interest to be detected, probed, and modulated selectively in model systems. We will also concentrate on recent advances in drug discovery that could help translate these insights into powerful therapeutics. Our keynote speaker will be Prof. Emily Balskus from Harvard University.
