Bioorthogonal Chemistry in Biology and Medicine
Symposium - New York City, United States
Innovations in chemistry have been essential for major breakthroughs in biology and medicine. At the heart of bioorthogonal chemical reactions is the development of uniquely reactive functional groups that allows specific covalent ligation of molecules in biological systems. Despite the challenges of performing specific chemical reactions in biological settings, a variety of bioorthogonal ligation methods such as native chemical ligation, Staudinger ligation and many cycloaddition reactions have been developed.
This symposium will highlight recent advances in bioorthogonal chemistry that have afforded unprecedented opportunities to explore biology and facilitated the synthesis of diagnostics and therapeutics for medicine. Oral and poster presentations will showcase ongoing applications and developments of bioorthogonal chemistry and discuss new frontiers and challenges for chemical biology.
