The EuroQSAR Symposia constitute the major scientific events in the field of computer-aided drug design & discovery, with further applications in agricultural and environmental sciences. The 2014 symposium will not only follow the tradition of previous events in presenting latest trends in QSAR and molecular modeling, it will also explore new grounds, such asintegrated approaches and open innovation strategies in drug discovery.

The 20th EuroQSAR symposium will focus on:

·         Chemical-Biological Space: Representation, Visualisation and Navigation

·         Chemo- and Bioinformatics Approaches to Multi-Target (Q)SAR

·         Modeling of Protein-Ligand Interactions: Structure, Function and Dynamics

·         Assessing Ligand Binding Kinetics

·         Computational Toxicology in Drug and Chemical Safety Assessment

·         Translational Bioinformatics: From Genomes to Drugs

·         Emerging QSAR and Modeling Methods

·         Non-Traditional Applications of QSAR & Modeling (Cosmetics, Food Supplements, Drug Delivery, Materials- and Nano-Informatics)

Two workshops & round tables are also planned in the framework of the EuroQSAR-2014 Symposium:

•  (Q)SAR-Related European Initiatives
•  Employing Proper Statistical Approaches for QSAR Modeling and Best Publishing Practices

The Scientific Programme will be completed by a Poster Session, a Commercial Exhibition as well as an impressive Social Programme around Saint-Petersburg, capital of culture of Russia and a UNESCO landmark.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the Symposium!
