Cresset, provider of chemistry software and services, announces that Field Based Chemistry North America 2013, a scientific meeting on the use of fields in the design and discovery of small molecules, will be held May 14 in Cambridge, Mass.

The event is of interest to researchers who want to: make the best possible compounds; shorten optimization processes; create or improve IP position by patent-busting or patent expansion; generate new leads, even in crowded therapeutic areas; develop lower-risk and lower-cost strategies for the discovery of new chemical entities. 

Speakers include Dr. Patrick McCarren from The Broad Institute. Scientists and researchers are invited to submit abstracts for oral presentations by March 15. The meeting is offered free to delegates.  www.cresset-group.com/fbcna2013/
