The Autumn UKQSAR and Cheminformatics Society Meeting will be held at the AstraZeneca Discovery Centre, Cambridge on Thursday the 13th of November. The meeting is organised and hosted by AstraZeneca.
The theme of this meeting is “Molecules in Motion”, including talks on physics-based modelling, AI-enhanced structure-prediction and more. We have confirmed talks from Prof. Sarah Harris (University of Sheffield), Prof. Jon Essex (University of Southampton), Dr. Pierre Matricon (Nxera Pharma), Dr. Conor Scully (Charm Therapeutics), Dr. Christina Athanasiu (AstraZeneca), Dr. Daniel Cole (University of Newcastle), Dr. Andrea Scarpino (Institute of Cancer Research), and Dr. Daniela Dolciami/Dr. Rob Ziolek (Kvantify).
While our agenda is complete for the day, we still have ample space for posters, and we would like to encourage all attendees to consider proposing a poster for this event.
Registration for this event will open closer to the meeting date.
