TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN The Medicinal Chemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society (DCF-SCI) organizes the XXVII National Meeting in Medicinal Chemistry (NMMC27) joint with the 14th Young Medicinal Chemists Symposium - "Nuove Prospettive in Chimica Farmaceutica" (NPCF14), that will be held in September 11-14, 2022, in Bari (Italy), a beautiful seaside town, rich in churches, palaces and piazzas, theatres and restaurants, with a special charm throughout the year.

NMMC27/NPCF14 symposium will give us the opportunity to share views about the challenges and hot topics in medicinal chemistry. After two years of virtual meetings, the 2022 edition of the meeting will be a presential event, although restricted to fully vaccinated individuals. The meeting will cover advances in drug discovery in major therapeutic areas, including the treatment of bacterial and viral infections, with a particular on the emerging COVID-19 pandemics, but also neurologic and cardiovascular diseases, rare diseases, and cancer. More importantly, participants will have the chance to establish and strengthen collaborative networks between academic and industrial groups, which remains a key option for successful research projects.

More than 300 delegates from academia and industry are expected. Upon application, twenty (or more) grants for young people, covering full registration fees and suitable accommodations, will be provided by DCF- SCI and other Institutional Sponsors.

The scientific programme will include:
  ● three days of scientific presentations
  ● five plenary lectures of eminent international scientists
  ● five parallel sessions with ten keynotes, fifty oral/flash communications
  ● two poster sessions
  ● exhibition by companies working in the field

We would be especially grateful if your Company, Organization or Institution can support the Meeting through one of the sponsorship opportunities attached below.
