We are delighted to announce that the 27th Annual GP2A Medicinal Chemistry Conference will take place between 21st-23rd August 2019 at the University of Nottingham (UK).

The meeting will be hosted by the Division of Biomolecular Sciences and Medicinal Chemistry within the School of Pharmacy here at the University of Nottingham and will take place at the East Midlands Conference Centre which is situated on University Park Campus.

This year we will be running an exciting pre-meeting workshop aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers on due diligence relating to quantitative pharmacological data. This workshop has been put together by Prof. Stephen Charlton (Professor of Molecular Pharmacology and Drug Discovery and Chief Scientific Officer of Excellerate Biosciences Ltd) and Prof. Stephen Hill (Professor of Molecular Pharmacology and current President of the British Pharmacological Society). The workshop is included in the conference registration fee, however spaces will be limited.

The meeting will include a range of invited speakers, in addition to a number of opportunities for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to speak, industrial exhibitors and poster presentations. Registration and the call for abstracts for poster and oral presentations will be opened shortly – more details will appear here soon, and will also be disseminated by email. In the meantime any general enquiries can be directed to gp2a2019@gp2a.org.

We look forward to welcoming you to Nottingham with the aim of continuing on from what was an excellent and scientifically stimulating meeting earlier this year in Normandy. Please save the dates in your diaries!

Best wishes from the organising committee:

Dr. Shailesh Mistry & Prof. Barrie Kellam
