Introduction


The symposium was aimed at researchers in industry and academia including graduate students and allowed participants plenty of opportunity to meet and network with potential collaborators. 

 

UK-Singapore Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry

Medicinal chemistry lies at the very heart of the drug discovery process and the symposium featured expert speakers from both the pharmaceutical/biotech industry and leading academic research institutes.

The scientific programme included novel approaches to the treatment of inflammation, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and tropical diseases, and the application techniques such as diversity-orientated synthesis and natural-product derived synthetic biology.
