| Synopsis |
Medicinal Chemistry in the 21st Century is facing both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The 2011 Zing Medicinal Chemistry Conference brings together leading drug designers from industry and academia to discuss innovative approaches to success. The conference program has been created around five key themes that cover the scientific, technological and operational tools modern medicinal chemists need to design both efficiently and effectively:- Design Space: new thinking in multi-objective design, tactics to reduce toxicity risk and optimize ADME and CNS properties.
- Allosteric modulation: New opportunities for GPCRs, kinases, ion channels and enzymes.
- Pharmacodynamics: Exploiting binding kinetics and thermodynamics in design of best-in-class compounds.
- Operational Space: increasing productivity through agile management, out-sourcing and open innovation approaches.
- Emerging concepts and method in drug discovery: fragment-based drug design, chemoproteomics, polypharmacology.

Closest major airport
Sharm el Sheikh (SSH), Egypt
Sharm el Sheikh (SSH) International Airport (30 minutes from the venue) offers direct flights from most major European cities on a variety of airlines.
A good, but not comprehensive list of low cost and charter options is available here.
For scheduled access to Sharm el Sheikh from the rest of the world, the best option is to fly to a major European airport and connect to one of the direct flights. Best connections are Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Zurich and London. It is usually best to book the flight to Europe separately and use one of the low-cost or charter options to get to Sharm.
Alternatively, fly to Cairo and then catch one of Egypt Air's seven daily flights to Sharm.
There are many charter flight and low-cost carrier options from Europe to Sharm el Sheikh. Contact your local travel agent to find out about charter flights.
Only 105 days until registration closes. Register now.
