Welcome from the Chair of the first International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry

Pharmaceuticals (www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceuticals), a peer-reviewed scientific journal edited by MDPI AG, is proud to organize and sponsor the first International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry. Contributions dealing with any discipline promoting research in drug discovery and development will be welcome.

The Conference will be held on the internet (https://www.sciforum.net/conference/ecmc-1) on 2-27 November 2015. It will allow you to present your recent results to the scientific community and to have the opportunity to start fruitful exchanges of information with academic and industrial groups from all over the world. Participation, as an author or a visitor, is ABSOLUTELY FREE of charge (simply create an account on the home page). Proceedings will be published after the conference.

On behalf of our dynamic editorial staff and active scientific committee, we warmly invite you to join us at this first International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry and we look forward to posting your contribution.

Jean Jacques Vanden Eynde obtained his Ph. D. degree in the field of organic synthesis in 1978 from the University of Mons (Belgium) and he has always been working, mostly as a bench chemist, in the area of organic (heterocyclic) and medicinal chemistry. Particularly interested in the development of modern technologies, he is familiar with microwave-assisted chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, as well as green chemistry.

From 1987 to 1988 he joined the laboratory of the late Alan R. Katritzky (University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA) with the support of a NATO grant and he had the opportunity to work in the field of medicinal chemistry as a research scientist in New Orleans (LA, USA) from 2001 to 2004.

Author or co-author of more than one hundred research articles, reviews, and chapters of books, he has been designated as a co-inventor in several European and world patents.

Formerly head of the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Mons (Belgium), he is now acting as a Guest Editor and Associate Editor for Molecules and an active Editor-in-Chief for Pharmaceuticals.
