GoingToMeet

The Society for Biomolecular Sciences heads to St. Louis, Missouri to set up its 14th Annual Conference & Exhibition, April 2008. St. Louis, considered the gateway to the west and situated near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, plays host to the thousands of industry professionals who come from around the world to learn and network with experts in the field. Expectation is high that the caliber and technical value experienced in the highly successful events on the west coast and recently in Canada will not be just duplicated but rather surpassed in St. Louis.
The SBS event, the premier scientific and showcase event in molecular discovery, offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the latest innovations, technologies, and research in the drug discovery sciences from all over the world.

Session Topics We will be accepting submissions in the following topic areas:
Disease Focus: Development of Small Molecule Anti- cancer Agents;
Disease Focus: Novel Receptors for the Treatment of Inflammatory Diseases;
Disease Focus: Discovery of Novel Approaches for CNS Disorders; Label-free Detection in HTS & Lead Validation;
