Join us for the Ninth Joint Sheffield Conference on Chemoinformatics
The Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society and the Chemical Structure Association Trust are organizing The Ninth Joint Sheffield Conference on Chemoinformatics (#shef2023), taking place at the University of Sheffield from the 19th to the 21st of June, 2023. This three-yearly international conference is very popular, you can learn more here https://cisrg.shef.ac.uk/shef2023/. Registration will open soon! Offers of papers are welcomed on new developments in all aspects of chemoinformatics, more details available on the event website. We look forward to welcoming you to Sheffield in June.

Event Website
The Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society was formed in 1981 to bring together scientists working in different fields of study who have a common interest in molecular modelling and graphics. This year, to celebrate 40th anniversary of the society, we would like to invite you to participate in our half-day interactive event. Confirmed speakers include:
- Prof. W. Graham Richards, CBE FRS FRSC CChem, Chairperson at Oxford Drug Design, a founding member of the Molecular Graphics Society (now the MGMS)
- Prof. Christopher Rowley, Department of Chemistry, Carleton University, Canada
- Dr Isidro Cortés-Ciriano, EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK
- Prof. Fernanda Duarte-Gonzalez, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK
There will be opportunities for poster presentations. During the meeting we will also try to identify major developments in the field in the last 40 years. Participants with the most important and original entries will win a prize. At the end of the day we will hold the MGMS Annual General Meeting. Everyone is welcome!

Postponed: “Computational Drug Design: A tribute Frank Blaney” Meeting
June 17-19 2020, The Queen’s University, Belfast, U.K.
https://frank-blaney-mgms-conference.weebly.com/
Given the increasing seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MGMS has decided to postpone our scientific meeting to honor the life and work of Dr Frank Blaney, a well-known computational chemist who worked for many years in the pharmaceutical industry.
Frank was a pioneer within the world of molecular modelling, particularly with respect to Drug Discovery. Not only did he contribute greatly to promoting science within academia but also in advancing commercial sectors for Drug Discovery. Frank was actively involved in the development of approaches to model membrane bound proteins such as GPCRs, ion channels and transporters, and the application of these approaches in drug discovery. Frank was a founding member of the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society (MGMS), and over the years worked in a number of academic and commercial institutions including Oxford University, Queen’s University Belfast, as well as Beecham Pharmaceuticals, GSK and Heptares.
