Very successful weeks for @lcsolab.bsky.social members with poster awards for Christine Marty at @euromedchem.bsky.social #EFMCISCB25 conference and Pierre Palamini at the Swiss Industrial Chemistry Symposium of @swisschemistry.bsky.social

What a week at EFMC-ICBS in Basel! Amazing work from worldwide medicinal chemists and chemical biologists broadening the chemical toolbox to study and modulate biology @euromedchem.bsky.social Especially proud of my PhD student Tara Shutes presenting a poster at her first international conference!

#EFMCISCB25 by @euromedchem.bsky.social and #AdvancesChemBio by @gfg-chembio.bsky.social were amazing conferences. I learned a lot about new science and connected with many inspiring scientists. Nevertheless, after 2 weeks of traveling, I am now happy to be home and not travel much in the next time.

Concluding remarks by Claudia HΓΆbartner at #EFMCISCB25. Thanks to sponsors, exhibitors, committees, secretariat and, above all, participants that made this event a very successful one. See you again in 2027! @euromedchem.bsky.social @youngscinet.bsky.social
