Conference Report: 3rd Annual Symposium of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Structure Analysis

The 3rd Annual Symposium on Chemical and Pharmaceutical Structure Analysis was once again held in Shanghai, where a rich history of ‘East meets West’ continued. This meeting is dedicated to bringing together scientists from pharmaceutical companies, academic institutes, CROs and instrument vendors to discuss current challenges and opportunities on the forefront of pharmaceutical research and development. The diversified symposia and roundtables are highly interactive events where scientists share their experiences and visions in a collegial setting. The symposium highlighted speakers and sessions that provided first-hand experiences as well as the latest guidance and industrial/regulatory thinking, which was reflected by the theme of this year’s meeting ‘From Bench to Decision Making – from Basics to Application.’ In addition to the highly successful Young Scientist Excellence Award, new events were featured at this year’s meeting, such as the Executive Roundtable and the inaugural Innovator Award.
