The 19th RSC / SCI Medicinal Chemistry Symposium (#19thCamMedChem) takes place 10th-13th September 2017 at Churchill College, Cambridge, UK. This biennial meeting is one of the highlights of the drug discover calendar. Each meeting we try to enhance the scientific programme and this time there will be a live webcast of one of the sessions.
