12th EFMC YOUNG MEDICINAL CHEMISTS’ SYMPOSIUM (EFMC-YMCS 2025)

The 12th edition of the EFMC Young Medicinal Chemists’ Symposium (EFMC-YMCS) took place in Porto, Portugal, on September 4-5, 2025. Jointly organised by the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology (EFMC) and the EFMC Young Scientists Network (YSN), the event was held in connection with the X EFMC International Symposium on Advances in Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC-ASMC 2025).

Katerina Barmpidi presented a poster showcasing her latest results on free energy calculations for a new generation of AMPK modulators. Her work contributes to the understanding and design of potent AMPK activators through advanced free energy perturbation (FEP) methods, highlighting recent progress in computational approaches for drug discovery.
