The upcoming "Advances in Chemical Biology" conference will feature latest research from all hot topics in chemical biology.
Lectures by young researchers and the posters exhibition will be at the heart of the conference. In addition to many inspiring invited lectures, the poster authors will have the opportunity to present their posters in a short lecture session.
The keynote lectures by Anna Hirsch (HIPS/HZI Saarbrücken), Maja Köhn (University of Bonn) and Pierrre Stallforth (HKI Jena) will be further highlights of the conference.
A tutorial workshop on 'Prodrugs' by Kurt Ritter will precede the lecture programme.
Additionally, the recipient of the Richard Willstätter Prize, recognizing exceptional long-standing contributions to chemical biology, will also present a keynote lecture.
Call for Last Minute Posters is open now (deadline: 16 December 2024)

Richard Willstätter Prize for Chemical Biology
The Richard Willstätter Prize for Chemical Biology honours outstanding long-time achievements of an established scientist, whose interdisciplinary work decisively contributed to a deeper understanding of chemical-biological processes.
Outstanding contributions and personal commitment to the field, e.g. the design of curricula and courses, widely used text books and media, promotion of young scientists, service on advisory boards and committees in Germany, and editorial services for scientific journals, are further indicators. The prize can also be awarded for technical developments, i.e. devices, methods, and processes, essential to obtain fundamental knowledge.
The Richard Willstätter Prize for Chemical Biology was founded by the DECHEMA Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, the German Pharmaceutical Society (DPhG), the Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM), and the German Chemical Society (GDCh) which equally contribute to the prize money.
It comprises a certificate, the invitation to a plenary lecture and a sum EUR 6,000.
The prize will be awarded during the conference. The jury consists of the board members of the Joint Working Group Chemical Biology of DECHEMA, DPhG, GBM and GDCh.
Please submit your nomination or application – including a CV, list of publications (highlighting the top5 papers), and a brief cover letter (English or German, max. 3000 letters) – by 20 November 2024 via dechema.de/en/rwp
The organising committee cordially invites you to submit abstracts of last minute posters.
Deadline for submission is 16 December 2024.
