The interplay between molecular structure and biological activity is central to contemporary biomedical and translational research, relevant not only to medicinal chemists, but also to structural biologists and to diverse scientists involved in the study of bioactive compounds and signaling mediators, and those working in drug discovery and development in general.

The scientific programme will include plenary lectures, oral communications and poster sessions. Registration will open on Sunday May 3, followed by an inaugural evening lecture and a welcome gathering. The scientific programme ends on Thursday May 7 and the meeting will be concluded by the symposium dinner on Thursday evening.

On Friday after the conference, a complimentary workshop "Virtual Screening and De Novo Design" is offered by BioSolveIT.

The 27^th Noordwijkerhout-Camerino-Cyprus Symposium is sponsored by the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC).
