The workshop, titled
“Integration of Green and Greener Actions into Medicinal Chemistry Programmes,”
will bring together innovative perspectives across four carefully curated sessions:

  1. Green Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry
    Exploring how sustainable strategies are redefining drug discovery and development.
  2. From Molecule to Medicine: Property Prediction in Action
    Translating molecular insights into real therapeutic potential.
  3. One Health: Bridging Medicine, Animals, and Environment
    Addressing health challenges through a truly interconnected, holistic approach.
  4. From Omics Data to Drug Breakthroughs
    Turning complex biological data into next-generation medicines.
