Lecture title: Predicting the chemistry of tomorrow for the medicines of the future – Front Row lecture with Ryan Shenvi, PhD Description: Small molecule medicines are among the most important tools in modern medicine, treating diseases ranging from infections to cancer. Many of the most promising compounds are extraordinarily complex, however, making their behavior difficult to predict and study. Come back to chemistry class in this free Front Row lecture, where Scripps Research Professor Ryan Shenvi will explore how modern chemical synthesis can be aided by computers at multiple levels, from design to execution in a laboratory. Learn how researchers are using increasingly sophisticated models—from receptor binding and chemical logic to quantum mechanics—to expand the frontiers of what chemistry can create. ABOUT SCRIPPS RESEARCH Scripps Research is an independent, nonprofit biomedical institute based in La Jolla, California, and ranked one of the most influential in the world for its impact on innovation. The Front Row lecture series, now in its ninth season, offers an exclusive glimpse into groundbreaking scientific discoveries in action. Join us—in the front row. Reserve your seat!
