DMCCB Basel Symposium 2027

This one-day symposium, organized by the Swiss Chemical Society, Division Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology, is dedicated to the theme «Infectious Diseases: Innovating for Global Health». Infectious diseases remain a major global health challenge. Emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and the persistent burden of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections emphasize the urgent need for innovative treatments. Advances in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, structural biology, and computational design are creating new opportunities to accelerate the discovery of anti-infective agents. The DMCCB Basel Symposium 2027 will bring together leading experts from academia, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry to present the latest developments in infectious disease research and drug discovery.

Join us on January  25, 2027, at the Biozentrum in Basel, where scientists from medicinal chemistry and chemical biology will present the latest insights and breakthroughs. 

This event is designed to engage professionals and students alike, fostering dialogue and collaboration across disciplines.
