The organizing committee invites all researchers involved or interested in medicinal chemistry to the first FinMedChem symposium September 15-16, 2011 in Helsinki. Medicinal chemistry involves many scientific disciplines and it is important that researchers from different disciplines can meet and discuss new findings, methodologies and strategies. The symposium has also a national importance, as this is to our knowledge the first two-day symposium in Finland that covers all topics in medicinal chemistry. Five national graduate schools are participating in the symposium and it is therefore an excellent forum for young researchers. The program has been planned to cover all topics in medicinal chemistry and the plenary lectures have a strong interdisciplinary character.
