International Symposium on Bioorganometallic Chemistry

Welcome
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the International Symposium on Bioorganometallic Chemistry 2023 (ISBOMC′23), which will take place at Technische Universität Braunschweig from 18-21 September 2023.
The meeting is intended to provide a forum for all aspects of bioorganometallic chemistry. Renowned speakers as well as emerging early career researchers will contribute to the conference and provide an exciting program with the latest research results from the field of bioorganometallic chemistry.
ISBOMC’23 will be the next event in a series of meetings, which started in Paris in 2002 and continued in Zurich, Milan, Missoula, Bochum, Toronto, Vienna, Moscow, York, where the to date last “traditional” in-person ISBOMC had been held in 2019, followed by the first online conference in 2021 (digital ISBOMC’21, Braunschweig) and the “First International Symposium on Bioorganometallic Chemistry – 20 years after” in Paris in 2022.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Braunschweig in September 2023!
Abstract Submission
Please use the abstract template and prepare your abstract according to the infos provided in the template. Please submit the abstract by email to ISBOMC@tu-braunschweig.de.
Program and Speakers
The program will cover all aspects of bioorganometallic chemistry and aims to bring together colleagues working at the interface of organometallic chemistry and biology, including biocatalysis, medicinal chemistry, organometallic bioligand synthesis, and related areas (e.g. computational chemistry, metallomics, bioconformational analysis).
