Dijon, France – October 16, 2015 Until recently, Medicinal Chemistry has mostly focused on the exploration of biologically active molecules and their optimization towards pharmaceutical applications. There is, however, an increasing need for medicinal chemists to contribute to the drug discovery and development process more broadly, in order to enable the development of truly improved medicines. This includes providing tools for therapeutic target identification and validation, to explore therapeutic and pathological mechanisms, or even support clinical trials. This symposium, jointly organised by the Société de Chimie Thérapeutique (SCT) and the Division of Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology of the Swiss Chemical Society, will discuss significant advances that are part of the expanding scope of Medicinal Chemistry. A panel of experts will highlight these developments in the areas of chemical biology, metabolite pattern optimization, structural biology, analytics and clinical imaging tracers with specific examples.

Dear Colleague, On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our privilege to invite you to attend ICTR-PHE 2016 (International Conference on Translational Research in Radio-Oncology and Physics for Health), which will take place in Geneva on February 15 – 19, 2016. ICTR-PHE 2016 will be a unique opportunity to gather all scientific communities involved in research programs articulated around the optimization of cancer treatment. Radiochemists, nuclear-medicine physicians, biologists, software developers, accelerator experts, oncologists, and detector and medical radio-physicists will indeed be asked to “think outside the box” and make innovative proposals to boost further the comprehensive approach of cancer management. The red threads of ICTR-PHE 2016 will range from the production of more effective isotopes for clinical use to personalized medicine in imagery, drug selection and treatment planning; from drug-radiation interactions to immunotherapies; and from advances in detection techniques to hadrontherapy. The importance of recent discoveries from researches fostered in the field of molecular radiobiology will also be emphasized in interactive sessions on cancer stem cells, regulation of tumor response to anticancer therapies, normal tissue protection, and viral interactions with cancer development and treatment outcome. ICTR-PHE 2016 will undoubtedly contribute to strengthen the global platform that the previous conferences have successfully set up and on which chemists, physicists, radiobiologists, and physicians are developing a win-win collaboration at the international level. The Organizing Committee of ICTR-PHE 2016 is looking forward to welcoming you to Geneva so mark February 15 – 19, 2016 in your agenda now!

The « Tumor targeting & radiotherapies network » of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest is glad to announce its ninth international workshop dedicated to young researchers (PhD Students and Post-Docs). This workshop will be focused on “New Advances in animal Models and preclinical Imaging for translational Research in Cancerology” from the 30th of September to 3rd of October 2015 in La Turballe, west of France. The main objective of this international workshop is to present the more recent contributions in imaging (multimodal and new imaging modalities: Nuclear, Magnetic Resonance, Optical and Photoacoustic Imaging), and in animal models (conventional, alternative and spontaneous) to improve the clinical transfer in oncology. Overview lectures will be given by experts in the different scientific fields targeted by the workshop. A number of proffered oral presentations given by young researchers will complete the different scientific sessions. This workshop aims at sharing scientific results and at facilitating exchanges between experienced and young researchers in a fast advancing field. In order to stimulate intense discussions between young and senior scientists, the total attendance is limited to a maximum of 60 persons. Awards: 30 travel grant awards are available for young researchers (PhD students and Post-Doctoral scientists). Each award consists of complimentary registration to the workshop, accommodation expenses, and up to 250€ contribution towards travel expenses. Location: This event will take place in Pen Bron Hotel in La Turballe at an hour and a half from Nantes in west of France. Abstract submission: Young researchers are asked to submit an abstract presenting their current research projects and results for one of the five scientific sessions of the workshop. Please, submit your abstract before June 15th, 2015 Registration: Deadline for registration is June 15th, 2015. Student/Post-Doc selected for oral presentation: Free Other attendees: 490 € Registration includes: Full accommodation/meals from Sept 30th dinner until Oct 3rd lunch. Due to the limited number of attendees, an early registration and abstract submission is strongly advised. More information, please visit: http://www.cgo-workshop-vecto.fr/ We look forward to seeing you in La Turballe for a stimulating and enjoyable workshop. The organizing...
