位于德国海德堡的欧洲分子生物学实验室于2014年8月20日至23日主办了第四届两年一度的化学生物学会议。这次会议以化学生物学领域令人兴奋的、多样化的进展为特色，由来自EMBL Heidelberg的三名科学家组织：Maja Kohn、Edward Lemke和Carsten Schultz，以及来自EMBL-EBI(Hinxton)的一名科学家：John Overington。会议包括36场讲座，其中包括3场主旨讲座和21场特邀讲座。此外，从摘要中挑选了15个简短的演讲--学生、博士后和主要研究人员各5个。在300名与会者中，还有近200名海报演讲者。这次会议吸引了高度国际化的观众，来自全球18个国家的代表。EMBL企业伙伴计划还向来自任职人数不足的国家的学生颁发了10个旅行奖学金。会议的安排是为了提供充足的时间进行讨论和建立联系。提供了两个单独的“与演讲者见面”会议，为与会者提供与演讲者非正式聊天的独特机会(图1)。此外，在三次出席人数众多的会议上提交了海报，以便有足够的时间进行观看和讨论。在会议结束时，三名学生因出色的演讲或海报而获奖；这些奖项由ChemBioChem赞助。研究生短谈奖颁发给了伊丽莎白·斯托克·萨哈(帝国理工学院，伦敦帝国理工学院)；博士后短谈奖颁发给了马尔特·格尔施(明兴理工学院)；海报奖授予了雅各布·布什(牛津大学)。
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, hosted the fourth biennial Chemical Biology conference from August 20–23, 2014. The conference, featuring exciting, diverse advances in the field of chemical biology, was organized by three scientists from EMBL Heidelberg: Maja Kohn, Edward Lemke and Carsten Schultz, and one scientist from EMBL-EBI (Hinxton): John Overington. The sessions comprised 36 talks including three keynote lectures and 21 invited talks. In addition, 15 short talks were selected from abstracts—five each from students, postdocs and principal investigators. There were also nearly 200 poster presenters among the 300 participants at the meeting. The conference attracted a highly international audience, representing 18 countries from around the globe. The EMBL Corporate Partnership Programme also awarded ten travel fellowships to students attending from under-represented countries.The conference was structured to provide ample time for discussions and networking. Two separate “Meet the Speakers” sessions were provided to give attendees the unique opportunity to informally chat with speakers (Figure 1). In addition, the posters were presented over three well-attended sessions that allowed sufficient time for viewing and discussion. At the end of the conference, three students were awarded prizes for outstanding presentations or posters; these were sponsored by ChemBioChem. The prize for short talk by a graduate student was presented to Elisabeth Storck Saha (Imperial College, London); the prize for short talk by a postdoctoral student was given to Malte Gersch (Technische Universität München); and the poster prize was awarded to Jacob Bush (University of Oxford).
