Biological & Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS)

The Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.

Aims

BMCS aims to further the interests of all members of the RSC, both industrial and academic, involved in the pursuit and understanding of biologically active molecules.  

The predominant areas include:

• pharmaceuticals 
• agrochemicals 
• flavours  
• fragrances

Activities

• Public promotion of the crucial role played by chemistry in the modern industrial environment.
• Organisation of scientific meetings and symposia.
• Support for educational activities in the UK.
• Advising the RSC on policies that directly affect the BMCS.

Community

We also have an online community, which is based on MyRSC, for anyone who shares our interests.

Get Involved

We are always looking for new members who are keen to get involved and to help organise our activities. If you would like to find out more please contact the Secretary.
