ESBOC is a cornerstone event in the field of chemical biology, offering a platform for scientific discourse, collaboration, and knowledge exchange that allows early career researchers to mix with world leaders in an informal setting. Its long-standing legacy and continued evolution underscore its importance as a catalyst for advancing research and driving innovation in the field.
The event will be held on May 28th-30th at Gregynog Hall, a picturesque country house nestled amidst 750 acres of lush gardens and wooded parkland in Mid-Wales. The choice of venue for ESBOC 2025 is historical. Gregynog is approximately 2 hours from Birmingham and Manchester, and is a short taxi ride from Newtown railway station. All conference facilities, including accommodation and catering are on site.
In addition, we are organising a satellite pre-ESBOC workshop in Manchester at the MIB (https://www.mib.manchester.ac.uk/) on the morning of May 28th, 2025. This satellite event will enable us to reach a wider audience with the ESBOC lecture programme. Furthermore, a free return coach between MIB and Gregynog will be provided to facilitate travel for attendees and speakers.
