Savings Deadline Friday!

Drug Discovery Chemistry is a dynamic conference for medicinal and biophysical chemists working in pharma, biotech, and academia. Focused on discovery and optimization challenges of small molecule drug candidates, this event provides many exciting opportunities for scientists to create a unique program to hear presentations most suited to one's interests by going back and forth among concurrent tracks. Last year's event was our largest ever! For more, see our testimonial video and photo gallery below:
