3rd MMCS: Shaping Medicinal Chemistry for the New Decade
It is with great pleasure that we announce the 3rd Molecules Medicinal Chemistry Symposium—Shaping Medicinal Chemistry for the New Decade (MMCS2022), to be held in Rome, Italy, from 27-29 July 2022.
The conference is co-organized by the Sapienza University of Rome, Department of Drug Chemistry and Technology, and MDPI, the publisher of the open-access journal Molecules. The conference is a follow-up to the successful 2nd Molecules Medicinal Chemistry Symposium—Facing Novel Challenges in Drug Discovery (MMCS2019), held in May 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. This turned out to be a very fruitful forum that delved into numerous topics. The excellent atmosphere was created by the presence of more than 190 attendees from 30 countries.
The MMCS2022 will be organized into a number of thematic sessions, and a non-exhaustive list of topics that will be considered includes:
- Molecules against drug-resistant microorganisms and SARS-CoV-2;
- Targeting proteins for degradation: PROTACS, PHOTACS, LYTACs, and molecular glues;
- Machine learning in drug design;
- Natural compounds in drug discovery;
- Multitarget drug discovery;
- Medicinal chemistry tales.
In each session, two prominent and inspiring keynote speakers will share the program with a number of oral communications selected from among the contributions submitted by young researchers. The program will be complemented by poster presentations and social events.
The 3rd MMCS: Shaping Medicinal Chemistry for the New Decade will accept abstracts only. All accepted abstracts will be available online in open access form on Sciforum.net. Participants of this conference are encouraged to contribute with a full manuscript to our one Special Issue related to the conference in the journal Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, Impact Factor: 4.927 (2021)). The conference participants will be granted a 30% discount on the publishing fees.
Important Dates:
- Covering author deadline: 27 June 2022;
- Late Registration: 8 July 2022.
In order to recognize the works presented during the conference in the format of posters and presentations, two awards will be offered to our conference participants, which will be announced during the award ceremony on the last day of the conference.
- Best Oral Presentation (EUR 500)
Selected by the Scientific Committee after evaluation of all selected talks presented during the conference.
- Best Poster (EUR 300)
Selected by the Scientific Committee after an evaluation of the posters received.
We look forward to seeing you in Rome.
