We're delighted to be exhibiting at the 13th EFMC Young Medicinal Chemists' Symposium, taking place at the Novartis Campus in Basel, Switzerland, on September 10-11, 2026.

Jointly organised by the @[EFMC - European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology](urn:li:organization:1950001) \(EFMC\) and the @[EFMC Young Scientists Network](urn:li:organization:31434996) \(YSN\), the symposium runs straight on from EFMC Medicinal Chemistry 2026 and shifts the spotlight onto the next generation of medicinal chemists and chemical biologists. The programme brings together keynote lectures from inspiring early career researchers, "National Highlights" talks from national prize winners across Europe, and the selection of the European Champion in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology. We're particularly looking forward to the keynote lectures this year. Dr @[Luca Laraia](urn:li:person:y\_CI\_kz5Z6) will be speaking on the chemical biology and medicinal chemistry of lipid transport, and Dr @[Maria Majellaro](urn:li:person:IbTw43cY\_O) will present "Growing with Celtarys: Work Hard, Enjoy the Journey," sharing her experience building a career at the interface of academia and industry. Both promise to be excellent talks for early career researchers navigating their own paths in the field. It is always a pleasure to spend time with the researchers shaping the future of our field, and we're looking forward to some excellent science over the two days. Come and find our stand to talk through your current building block requirements and see what is new in our catalogue. We look forward to seeing you in Basel.

We're delighted to announce that Activate Scientific will be exhibiting at @[EFMC - European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology](urn:li:organization:1950001) Medicinal Chemistry 2026, taking place in Basel from the 6th to the 10th of September.

This biennial symposium remains one of the standout events in the medicinal chemistry calendar, bringing together around a thousand scientists from industry and academia across five days of world-class programming.  The opening plenary lecture will be delivered by @[Gisbert SCHNEIDER](urn:li:person:7xwCGjGNpf) of ETH Zurich, a pioneer in computer-assisted drug design whose work has helped shape modern AI-driven medicinal chemistry and scaffold-hopping methodologies, setting the tone for a symposium with a strong focus on how computational and machine learning methods are reshaping hit-to-lead work. The programme also draws heavily on the host city's own pharmaceutical heritage, with speakers including @[Philipp Holzer](urn:li:person:UF5Wz6vJbt), Executive Director in Global Discovery Chemistry at Novartis Biomedical Research in Basel, and @[Daniel Ricklin](urn:li:person:uqgVX7gQrJ), Professor of Molecular Pharmacy at the University of Basel, whose work spans experimental drug discovery from small molecules to biomolecular drugs. Across three parallel sessions, we are excited to hear lectures on topics such as target identification, lead optimisation, chemical biology, and emerging therapeutic modalities, alongside six company workshops and two poster sessions. We'll be at our stand throughout the symposium to discuss medicinal chemistry building blocks, synthetic challenges and the projects you're working on. If you're attending, we'd love to meet you.
