We are pleased to announce an upcoming ACS symposium that will delve into the exploration of chemical spaces. This symposium is set to take place during the American Chemical Society National Meeting in San Francisco, scheduled from August 13th to 17th, 2023. The symposium is organized by Dr. Christian Lemmen, CEO of BioSolveIT, and Dr. Paul Beroza, Distinguished Scientist at Genentech. It will be hosted by the Division of Chemical Information (CINF).
The venue will be the Nikko II, located in the Hotel Nikko San Francisco. This event promises to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject matter, featuring engaging presentations and discussions led by experts in the field. Attendees can expect a stimulating environment where the latest advancements and discoveries in chemical spaces will be explored and shared.
Outline of the symposium
Three exciting information-rich technologies are emerging at the interface of data and chemistry in drug discovery. First, synthesis-on-demand capabilities are uncovering huge portions of chemical space that can be computationally explored and readily realized. Second, technologies that reveal the secrets of protein structure – high-throughput crystallography, Cryo-EM, and computationally predictive methods like AlphaFold – provide a rich body of data that will likely bring structure-based drug design to a new level. Finally, whether you call it old-fashioned machine learning or fancy artificial intelligence, the ability of computational models to uncover patterns and meaning in data has never been stronger. At this symposium, we will hear from those at the forefront of these innovation themes and how they come together to enable a deep dive into chemical space.
