17- 21 June 2013, Loughborough University, UK

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the RSC Medicinal Chemistry Residential School, an intensive course which has trained some of the world’s leading medicinal chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry.

The early bird registration deadline of Monday 22 April 2013 is almost upon us. If you are a graduate or post-doctoral chemist with 1-5 years’ experience in the field of drug research or a final year PhD student in pharmacy and organic chemistry contemplating a career in medicinal chemistry, be sure to secure your space before this date to benefit from a great saving on the standard fee.

Please visit the dedicated webpage for full details about the RSC Medicinal Chemistry Residential School including the course programme, bursary applications and poster presentation opportunities.

The 2014 Colworth Medal has been awarded to Molecular BioSystems Associate Editor Madan Babu for his exceptional expertise in bioinformatics analysis of protein structure and gene networks.

The Colworth Medal is an annual award from the Biochemical Society, presented to researchers under the age of 35 for their outstanding contribution to biochemical research. This prestigious award has been presented since 1963 with many extraordinary researchers being past recipients, and we are delighted that Madan is the recipient in its 50^th year. This follows on from his Early Career Research Award from the Biochemical Society in 2010.

Madan continues to carry out such outstanding research and lead the Regulatory Genomics and Systems Biology group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK. He will present his award lecture at the 2014 Biochemical Society conference.

Submit your work to Madan Babu’s editorial office today via our simple online submissions system: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mb.

This is your last chance to submit an oral abstract for Challenges in Chemical Biology (ISACS11) which will be held on 23-26 July in Boston, USA.

Act before the deadline of Friday 15 March 2013 to take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to showcase your work alongside researchers from across the globe.

For details of speakers and conferences themes, please visit the dedicated website.

The second ISACS event of 2013 is building on the successes of ISACS5: Challenges in Chemical Biology.

The themes of ISACS11 include topics that are extremely relevant to readers and authors of Molecular BioSystems, such as chromatin biology & epigenetics, cancer biology, systems biology. The aim is to discuss the latest applications of chemical tools and techniques for probing biological problems.
