Presented by The New York Academy of Sciences

Date: June 3, 2014

Chemical biology is a diverse and dynamic field involving chemical approaches to studying and manipulating biological systems. The goal of the Academy’s Chemical Biology Discussion Group meetings is to enhance interactions among local-area laboratories working in chemical biology and to feature forefront research in chemical biology to the wider community. The meeting traditionally covers a range of current topics in chemical biology, including chemical probe development, organic synthesis, biosynthesis, protein engineering, nanotechnology, and drug discovery. The annual year-end meeting features distinguished keynote speaker Professor Michael Marletta of the Scripps Research Institute. This will be followed by shorter, cutting-edge talks by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows selected from participating tristate-area institutions, and a poster session.
