Fragment events in 2023 and 2024

We're at the midpoint of the year but there is still at least one more good conference in 2023, and 2024 is shaping up to be even better.

September 25-28: CHI’s Twenty-first Annual Discovery on Target will be held in beautiful Boston, as usual. As the name implies this event is more target-focused than chemistry-focused, but there are always plenty of FBDD-related talks. You can read my impressions of the 2022 meeting here, the 2021 event here, the 2020 virtual event here, the 2019 event here, and the 2018 event here.

 

2024

March 4-5: RSC-BMCS Ninth Fragment-based Drug Discovery Meeting will be held in Cambridge, UK. This venerable biannual event will be particularly focused on case studies "that have delivered compounds to late stage medicinal chemistry, preclinical, or clinical programmes." You can read my impressions of the 2013 meeting here and the 2009 event here.

 

April 1-4: CHI’s Nineteenth Annual Fragment-Based Drug Discovery, the longest-running fragment event, returns as always (pandemics aside) to San Diego. This is part of the larger Drug Discovery Chemistry meeting. You can read impressions of the 2023 meeting here, the 2022 event here, the 2021 virtual meeting here, the 2020 virtual meeting here, the 2019 meeting here, the 2018 meeting here, the 2017 meeting here, the 2016 meeting here; the 2015 meeting here, here, and here; the 2014 meeting here and here; the 2013 meeting here and here; the 2012 meeting here; the 2011 meeting here; and 2010 here. 

 
September: FBLD 2020 was sadly canceled due to COVID-19, but after a six year hiatus FBLD 2024 is scheduled to be held in Boston (exact dates TBD). This will mark the eighth in an illustrious series of conferences organized by scientists for scientists. You can read impressions of FBLD 2018, FBLD 2016, FBLD 2014, FBLD 2012, FBLD 2010, and FBLD 2009.
