Conference Program
 
COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY

August 21-26, 2005
Proctor Academy
Andover, NH

Chair:
Samuel W. Gerritz

Vice Chair:
R. Kip Guy

This conference is focused on the application of high throughput synthetic methods to targets of interest to scientists engaged in biomedical, synthetic organic, and/or materials science research. The unifying theme of these methods is the simultaneous exploration of multiple variables in a single iteration of synthesis and screening. Although the emphasis of this conference is on synthetic chemistry, topics related to the design, analysis, purification and screening of chemical libraries are highly germane.
