Spring 2012 National Meeting & Exposition

Chemistry is involved in all aspects of our lives, starting from what controls the structures and functions of biologically important molecules, to the mechanics of how complex organisms interact with each other. In the past decade, detailed insights into what governs these interactions on a molecular basis has allowed us to rationally design new therapies for diseases with large unmet medical needs such as neurological, infectious and autoimmune disorders, and to develop targeted treatments for cancer.
