Challenges in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology (ISACS1)


Programme


ISACS1 provided a state-of-the-art review of current research developments in organic chemistry and chemical biology. Topics covered included:

  • New synthetic methods
  • Total synthesis of natural products
  • Metal and organocatalysis
  • Glycochemistry and glycobiology
  • Small molecule protein interactions
  • Synthetic biology
  • Neurobiology
  • Physical organic chemistry
  • Bioorganic chemistry and medicinal chemistry            

The plenary programme was supplemented by large poster sessions.
