XVIIIth Symposium on Chemistry of Nucleic Acid Components

June 5 - 10, 2022, Czech Republic

Český Krumlov

.

ABOUT THE MEETING

Participants are cordially welcome to attend the 18th Symposium on Chemistry of Nucleic Acid Components. It is a traditional (since 1969) conference covering synthetic, bioorganic and medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, chemical biology and nanotechnology of nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids. The programme will consist of plenary lectures, "Emerging younger investigator" invited lectures, short oral presentations and a poster session.

 

In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic and restricted travels, we are sad to inform you that the organizing committee has decided to postpone the event for two years. The new dates are June 5-10, 2022 in the same venue.

Most of the invited speakers have already kindly agreed to attend and give their lectures in 2022 and we very much hope that also most of the other participants will be able to attend next year as well.

Please stay tuned for further info about the new registration and deadlines later.
