The MCCB 2025 Conference is the national meeting of the RACI Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology Division.
The MCCB 2025 meeting, which will be both inclusive and diverse, will bring together academic and industry experts from Australia and internationally to discuss the latest innovations and developments in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology research.
The program will showcase the very best research and innovations from the Australian academic and industry sectors on drug discovery and chemical probes, including methods for hit and target identification, development of new biologically active entities, probing complex biology, and new approaches to tackling diseases.
We look forward to welcoming you to Darwin, the capital of the tropical north and the gateway to Kakadu National Park and the Australian outback.
