EFMC-ISMC 2012 is jointly organised by the German Chemical Society (GDCh) Division of Medicinal Chemistry and the German Pharmaceutical Society (DPhG) Section of Pharmaceutical/Medicinal Chemistry, on behalf of the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC).

This symposium is recognized worldwide as one of the leading Medicinal Chemistry meetings, as proven by its large international attendance, which varies between 1200 and 1500 participants from all over the world. It traditionally attracts experts in drug discovery and development, in particular medicinal and synthetic chemists, together with scientists active in the fields of computer assisted drug design, biology, DMPK, pharmacology, early toxicology, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical development.

The EFMC-ISMC 2012 will continue its tradition and will cover drug discovery advances in all major therapeutic areas as well as the most recent advances in lead identification and optimization strategies, drug design and profiling technologies. Particular emphasis will be put on first time disclosures. ISMC 2012 will also illustrate the impact of the -omics and biomarker areas on the interfaces between chemistry, informatics, biology and experimental medicine.
