On March 6-8, 2023, ACS Publications hosted the ACS Publications Symposium: Biological and Medicinal Chemistry in Bonn, Germany. ACS partnered with the University of Bonn to host the first in-person symposium since the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2.5-day event brought together top researchers around the globe to communicate harnessing informatics, deciphering diseases, innovating treatments, exploring evolution, and more.

During the event, 20 speakers, including 10 ACS editors from seven countries, presented their findings across five plenary sessions. More than 50 attendees presented their research during poster sessions and networked with speakers and ACS editors throughout the event.

The symposium’s Scientific Organizing Committee included:

  • Professor Christa Müller, Editor-in-Chief ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science, University of Bonn
  • Catherine Goodman, Associate Publisher, ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering, ACS Synthetic Biology, Biochemistry, Biomacromolecules, Journal of Proteome Research, ACS Publications
