This Next-Generation Asian Symposium convenes visionary Asian speakers whose profiles are ascending in the field of chemical biology. The goal of this symposium is to delve into the frontiers of new chemical biology technologies, showcasing pioneering advancements in natural products, bioimaging, epigenetics, small molecule exploration, proteins, and nucleic acids. Chemical biology is a basic science. However, it also serves as the genesis for novel drug modalities and associated medical technologies. By uniting the brightest minds in Asian communities, this symposium endeavors to catalyze groundbreaking ideas and breakthroughs in drug discovery. We anticipate the participation of a diverse audience, eager to explore and collaborate on the future of chemical biology and drug discovery.
