This Symposium seeks to gather experts in the field of medicinal chemistry of anti-infective agents, to provide a forum for discussion regarding novel drug structural classes, therapeutic approaches, biological targets, and resistance mechanisms, which can pave the way for the development of optimized therapies for bacterial, protozoan, viral, and fungal infections. Participants will have the opportunity to present short talks and posters on their work and discuss their research in a relaxed, collegial environment.
