Selected Papers from the 7th European Chemical Biology Symposium 2021 (ECBS/LS EuCHEMS)

Dear Colleagues,

The 7th ECBS/LS EuCHEMS (ECBS 2021) will be held at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milano, Italy, from 24 to 26 May 2021.

After the success and wide resonance of the 2019 edition in Madrid, this biennial, highly interdisciplinary meeting, belonging to the European Chemical Biology Symposium ECBS series, is becoming the reference event in Europe, bringing together world experts and top scientists and young investigators in the fields of Medicinal and Biological Chemistry. Jointly organized by the Life Sciences division of EuCheMS (http://www.euchems.eu/) and by the European ESFRI infrastructure EU-OPENSCREEN (http://www.eu-openscreen.eu/), the ECBS meeting focuses on diverse aspects of innovative chemistry at the interface with biology, material science, biophysiscs, and other disciplines.

Among the topics addressed at this conference are: artificial intelligence in drug design, small molecules targeting nucleic acids, new pharmacolocal approaches: targeting protein degradation, protein aggregation and self-assembly, bio-nanotechnology and synthetic biology, natural compounds chemistry and biology, glycochemistry and glycobiology, fighting resistant pathogens, and new approaches in antiviral therapies.

Attendants of the conference, especially early-stage researchers, are cordially invited to contribute to this Special issue with original research papers or reviews.
