International Conference and Exhibition on Progressive Medicinal Chemistry

Welcome to the International Conference and Exhibition on Progressive Medicinal Chemistry (ProMediCon 2027), to be held on April 12–14, 2027, at the HORIBA Symposium Hall, International Science Innovation Building, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

ProMediCon 2027, co-organized by the Chemical Biology Society of India, will bring together leading researchers, healthcare professionals, industry experts, and young scientists from around the world to share knowledge, discuss emerging trends, and foster collaborations in medicine, healthcare, and life sciences. The conference provides a unique platform to showcase innovative research, exchange ideas, and address global healthcare challenges. Hosted at the prestigious Kyoto University during the beautiful Sakura (Cherry Blossom) season, the conference offers an inspiring environment that combines scientific excellence, cultural heritage, and international networking.

The conference will showcase the latest advancements and emerging trends in the broad field of Medicinal Chemistry. The scientific programme will cover a wide range of key topics, including Drug Discovery and Development, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Bioorganic Chemistry, Computational Drug Design, Molecular Design, Pharmacology, Medicinal Natural Products, ADME and Toxicology, Structure-Based Drug Design, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Translational Therapeutics. This diverse scope aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, encourage the exchange of innovative ideas, and accelerate progress in the development of next-generation therapeutics for global healthcare challenges.

We warmly invite you to join us in Kyoto and contribute to shaping the future of medicine and healthcare through collaboration and innovation.

We look forward to welcoming you to ProMediCon 2027
