1st Anglo Italian Chemical Biology Bilateral Meeting (AICBBM-1)

AICBBM-1 is the first bilateral meeting between the RSC Chemical Biology Bioorganic Chemistry (CBBG) Interest Group and the Biological Systems Division of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI Divisione Sistemi Biologici). This 3-day meeting aims to provide an opportunity to network between established and younger scientists with an interest in Chemical Biology and Bio-organic Chemistry of the RSC, the SCI, and beyond. Main Topics: – Small molecules Development of small molecules for biological studies Mode-of action of bioactive small molecules The small-molecule metabolome – Peptides and proteins The roles of peptides/proteins in biological processes (PTM, localisation, homeostasis, molecular interactions, function, biosynthetic pathways) Development of peptides/proteins for biological studies, biosensors and biocatalysis – Nucleic acids Nucleic acid structure and function Development of nucleic acid-based technologies – Carbohydrates The roles of carbohydrates in biology Development of carbohydrate-based tools and technologies – Lipids The roles of lipids in biology Development of lipid-based tools and technologies – Biomaterials Materials in biology and biomedicine Development of new biomaterials Nanoscale engineering with biomaterials
