3rd SCI-RSC symposium on antimicrobial drug discovery

15 November – 16 November 2021
Online webinar: 14:00 GMT(consecutive afternoons)

At a time when antimicrobial resistance is decreasing the efficacy of existing treatments, it has never been more important that we refresh the drug pipeline with new therapeutics acting on new targets or exhibiting novel modes of action.
Fortunately, renewed interest from both industry and academia has led to a resurgence in antimicrobial drug discovery and interest in developing innovative technologies and approaches for combating infection.

Coinciding with WHO’s World Antibiotics Awareness week, this two-day meeting will examine the latest advances in antimicrobial drug discovery from a medicinal chemist’s perspective, focusing on the particular challenges associated with developing antimicrobials whilst also showcasing emerging strategies for tackling infection.

Anyone wishing to present a poster should submit a one-page abstract to conferences@soci.org by Friday 10 September 2021 with “AM-III – poster abstract” in the subject line. Selected poster presenters will have the opportunity to give a flash presentation.
