Advancing the Use of Metal-Based Compounds and Nanotheranostics for Personalized Medicine

The mission of the Metals in Medicine GRC is to cultivate a community of multidisciplinary scientists focused on improving human health by translating basic science discoveries in the areas of bioinorganic chemistry, materials, and inorganic nanotechnology to medical application. The 2022 Metals in Medicine GRC will bring together more than 150 scientists and clinicians from around the world in academia, industry and government to discuss the latest developments in the field in the intimate and informal environment of a GRC. This meeting provides a stimulating and dynamic gathering to engage and inspire scientists at all career stages in this evolving field.

The focus of the 2022 Metals in Medicine meeting is the exploration of key strategies and tactics utilized in modern inorganic, organometallic, and supramolecular chemistry to design and target novel metal-based drug leads and candidates. State-of-the-art chelation strategies and applications for radionuclides and contrast agents will be presented. Frontier studies showing the potential of altering cellular metal trafficking and homeostasis to combat emerging pathogens and diseases will be discussed. In addition, updates on the latest clinical advances in the field will be presented by leading researchers who developed molecules and materials that are now positively impacting human health.
