Introduction

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the European Chemical Biology Symposium (ECBS) 2021, which is jointly organised by EU-OPENSCREEN and the EuChemS Division of Chemistry for Life Sciences.

The ECBS 2021 brings together scientists from Europe and overseas to present and discuss their latest achievements in cutting edge chemical sciences at the interface with biology and medicine, ranging from new therapeutic approaches to resistant pathogens and viral infections (special session on COVID19 research), to targeting of proteasome and protein aggregation, natural products, artificial intelligence in drug discovery, nanostructured biomaterials, synthetic biology, glycochemistry and biology, chemistry of life origin.

We encourage young researchers to present their work at the meeting (oral & flash presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts), and embrace the exciting developments currently happening in chemical biology.

Conference features

Even if we are currently scattered around the globe without the possibility of a physical meeting, we want to make you feel like you’re attending an in-person meeting as closely as possible. This is why we chose the Whova platform to make your virtual ECBS2021 conference experience a good one!

Whova combines many features of a live meeting with remote benefits:

Presentations from leading experts of the research field,
Built your own program through the selection of individual sessions and/or talks,
Recorded sessions for viewing at more suitable times,
Live Q&A and polls
Live chats, group discussions, icebreakers and attendee matchmaking for virtual networking
Virtual exhibitions rooms (for sponsors)
Many download options for registered participants (for posters)
Accessible platform on phones (Whova App), tablets, or laptops: attend sessions, participate in discussions anytime, anywhere

Start preparing your agenda and follow all ECBS2021 talks on our ECBS2021 Whova platform.

Young Investigator Workshop

New satellite activity

Organized as a satellite online event to the ECBS2021, the Young Investigator Workshop will provide a platform to young investigators at an early stage of their independent career to present their research and connect within this group of potential future leaders in the field.

Potential candidates will be nominated by the national chemical societies. In addition, the scientific committee will select submissions to the ECBS and offer these applicants the opportunity to present their work and research profile at this newly created satellite event on the 24th and 25th of May, 2021.
