GSK Stevenage, 25 September 2015 Lead-Oriented Synthesis: Exploring Drug-Relevant Chemical Diversity was a one-day meeting organized by the Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge Network, and held at GlaxoSmithKline’s Stevenage site on September 25, 2015. The meeting attracted 92 registered delegates, and featured scientific talks from academic and industrial leaders in the field. It also coincided with the …
Dial-a-Molecule are pleased to announce that Chemistry Central Journal have launched the “Dial-a-Molecule” Thematic Series, and the first two papers from Natalie Fey and Bao Nguyen are now available to view online.
“Diversity in natural product families is governed by more than enzyme promiscuity alone: establishing control of the pacidamycin portfolio” by Rebecca Goos et al. was published in Chemical Science end of last year. The article describes the researchers’ success in directing the production of some specific antibiotics in bacteria. By manipulating the genes responsible for …

The first meeting held after the funding renewal, discussing the progress the Network had made in the initial phase and the opportunities available in the second phase. Â The Roadmap was formally published on this day.
The Challenge: Molecules are collections of atoms connected together in a specific way. Even constrained to those elements most used (C, N, H, O, P, S) the number of possible molecules, even using small numbers of atoms, is vast – AND every molecule has different properties. It is unsurprising then that much of modern life …
Given the wide span of the Grand Challenge, the impact of any achievement towards Dial-a-Molecule will reach far beyond academia. Not only will advances affect industry and economy but addressing the Grand Challenge will be of benefit to society as a whole and will aid government to maintain its role in the world economy. Academia: …
Dial-a-Molecule is a Grand Challenge Network funded by EPSRC 2010 –Â 2015 and 2016 –Â 2020 to promote research aimed at step change in our ability to deliver molecules quickly and efficiently: How can we make molecules in days not years? Tackling this challenge requires collaboration between many areas of science, engineering and mathematics. Thus the network …
