The conference Chemical Biology 2008 was held at EMBL Heidelberg for the first time in October 2008. With about 30 invited speakers, 20 oral presentations chosen from the abstracts, 150 posters and 250 participants, this event was an initial success. The excellent participation demonstrated the need for such an event. The organizers therefore decided to offer Chemical Biology conferences at EMBL in bi-annual intervals.
The series aims to give an overview on the current status of the highly interdisciplinary field and an outlook to where the field is heading. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for scientists using diverse research approaches and methods to come together and to network. It is structured to enhance exchange and discussions between researchers, for the benefit of their own research as well as for the progress of the field.
