Friday, November 17, 2017, 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST

The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich St Fl 40, New York

Chemical biology is uniquely positioned to increase our understanding of the human brain in health and disease.  Cutting-edge chemical biology tools are poised to increase our understanding of healthy neural systems and pave the way for the development of interventions for neurological and psychiatric disease, as new biological targets emerge. This meeting will bring together world-class scientists from academia and industry to present research in synthetic neurobiology, structural biology, neuroimaging, and neuropharmacology
