The theme of the 20th RSC Chemical Biology and Bio-Organic Group (CBBG) meeting is ‘Shaping the Future’ and the meeting is intended to cover a broad range of chemical biology and bio-organic chemistry.
This 3-day meeting is a showcase for Early Career academics and industry professionals. It provides an opportunity to network between established and younger scientists (fellows, new lecturers or industry professionals within 5-years of appointment). As the Firbush venue has limited capacity (~40), attendance will be restricted. It is anticipated that about two-thirds of those attending will be able to give short seminars (~20 mins), which will be selected from submitted abstracts.
The programme will start late afternoon on Friday 20th September and finish after lunch time on Sunday 22nd September. Plenary lectures are scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings from Prof. John Sutherland (LMB, Cambridge), Prof. Sabine Flitsch (University of Manchester) and Prof. Andrew Jamieson (University of Glasgow), who will deliver the 2023 RSC CBBG Award Lecture (https://www.rsc.org/membership-and-community/connect-with-others/through-interests/interest-groups/cbbg/awards/)
The meeting is co-Chaired by Prof. Stephen Wallace (University of Edinburgh), Dr Amanda Jarvis (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Hannah Bolt (AstraZeneca).
Attendance will be on a competitive basis and chosen from submitted abstracts. Applications are welcome from Post Docs, Early Career academics, Fellows and Industrial professionals and abstracts should be prepared using the template provided. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 10th May 2024. Successful applicants will be notified shortly afterwards, at which time a link to register will be shared and the registration system opened for others who wish to attend.
