This symposium is organized in honour of Frank Blaney.  Frank was an early adopter of computational chemistry, championing its use in industry and was a founding member of the MGMS.  Known for his innovative work in molecular modelling and drug discovery, Frank\u2019s many associations included Oxford University, Queen\u2019s University Belfast, GSK, Sosei Heptares \/ Nxera and the MGMS. This meeting brings together leading scientists to discuss their pioneering work in utilizing computational methods to address a wide array of challenges in the biological sciences. The event serves as a platform to celebrate Frank\u2019s legacy and inspire further advancements in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
