The Medicinal Chemistry Symposium invites a wide range of participants from industry, academia, and government, and aims to revitalize and improve the level of pharmaceutical research and development in Japan. There is a large variety of presentations and lectures on "the latest science, technology and information related to drug discovery."
The symposium consists of general poster presentations (including short presentations), invited lectures, and special lectures.
Through these presentations, we will share information and exchange opinions about current issues and prospects in drug discovery, thereby contributing to the revitalization of future drug discovery research and the creation of new drugs originating from Japan. We also aim to foster a drug discovery mindset and motivation among young medicinal scientists and students studying medicinal chemistry.
