UGM & Conferences

The UGM & Conference is a 4-day event focusing on applications of computational chemistry, drug design and discovery in both the biologicals and small molecule fields, consisting of workshops, scientific presentations, posters, as well as opportunities to socialize during receptions and conference dinner. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. Space is limited so early registration is recommended.

PODCASTS

On episode 8 of Under the Surface, we’re joined by The Molecular Assassin, Arijit Basu. Arijit describes his journey from India to the US via a transformative sabbatical in Israel. Landing in the Langer lab at MIT and then finding his industrial legs, Arijit turns to computational toxicology as a way to ensure that drug hunters enable the concept of Safety by Design as a core tenant for how they’re navigating chemical space. He doesn’t discuss how he got his cool nickname though, so if that’s what you’re after, you will be out of luck.

This episode was recorded live in Montreal at our 2024 UGM.🥳

In episode 7, On Being The First [Second?], we speak with crystallographer Eric Larson. As you’ll hear, Eric’s a little nervous about having his thoughts committed to ‘perpetuity.’ But, as you’ll also hear, he does a great job. As our first second structural biologist on the show, he tells us about how he got into the field, the very real logistical challenges of working in industry, and his evocative description of what it feels like to peek ‘behind the veil’ and be the first on the planet to observe the structure of a previously unknown protein. It’s a magical episode 🪄🎩
