NNF Symposium – Chemical Biology: from Molecules to Medicine

Mærsk Tårnet.

This symposium offers keynote lectures from some of the world’s leading researchers in the field of chemical biology as well as oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts and a poster session. 

With the event, we aim to generate a stimulating forum for exchange of new ideas on the different facets and technologies of chemical biology. It is our hope that the symposium will educate and inspire the younger generations of researchers in the field.
