2020 International Symposium on Chemical Biology

The third edition of the International Symposium on Chemical Biology organized by the NCCR Chemical Biology will take place on January 22 to 24, 2020 at the Campus Biotech, Geneva, Switzerland. This major international event in the field of chemical biology will bring together leading scientists, comprising two keynote speakers (Prof. Laura Kiessling (MIT) and Prof. Giulio Superti-Furga (CeMM)) and thirteen outstanding speakers who will collectively cover topics around the engineering of proteins and small molecules, chemogenetic and optogenetic technologies for probing molecular and cellular interactions, technologies to probe active molecules in their native environment, etc.
 
The aim of this international event is to learn more about the latest advances in the field of chemical biology and to foster an open and dynamic dialogue amongst the scientists conducting this exciting research.
