Chemical Biology and Synthesis: The Spring Meeting of the Swiss Chemical Society, March 10th, 2005, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Bern

Abstract

The 2005 Spring Meeting of the Swiss Chemical Society was held at the University of Bern on March 10th, 2005. The one-day symposium was dedicated to recent advances in chemical biology and synthesis. The four speakers, Dennis P. Curran, Johann Mulzer, Scott Miller, and Samuel Danishefsky covered a wide range of modern organic chemistry emphasizing "the formidable power of chemical synthesis" (Danishefsky) to investigate biologically relevant problems.
