About this Event
This symposium is organized in honour of Frank Blaney. Frank was an early adopter of computational chemistry, championing its use in industry and was a founding member of the MGMS. Known for his innovative work in molecular modelling and drug discovery, Frank’s many associations included Oxford University, Queen’s University Belfast, GSK, Sosei Heptares and the MGMS.
This meeting brings together leading scientists to discuss their pioneering work in utilizing computational methods to address a wide array of challenges in the biological sciences. The event serves as a platform to celebrate Frank’s legacy and inspire further advancements in the field.
The meeting will address research areas:
Quantum Calculations in Biology
Computational Methods in Drug Discovery
Multi-Scale Simulations
AI in Drug Discovery
Invited Speakers:
Tim Clark, University of Erlangen
Nicola Richmond, Benevolent AI
Paul Finn, Oxford Drug Design
Ben Tehan, OMass Therapeutics
