DESCRIPTION:Prof. Raphael Rodriguez\, Institut Curie\, Paris\n\nNatural pr
 oducts and synthetic small molecules are central players in chemical biolo
 gy studies. Drug substances can perturb cellular processes underlying dise
 ases\, thereby enabling the discovery of biological targets suitable for t
 herapeutic intervention. Small molecules have been shown to accurately tun
 e protein and nucleic acids functions in reversible and dose-dependent man
 ners with valuable temporal resolution. Hence\, small molecule approaches 
 are complementary to RNA interference strategies and offer the additional 
 means of identifying associated chemical hits for drug development. The ef
 ficient synthesis of molecular probes remains a worthy challenge. The impa
 ct of synthetic organic chemistry and supra-molecular processes on current
  cell biology and human medicine will be illustrated in the specific case 
 of cancer stem cell targeting.\n
