Schrödinger will be hosting a Chinese User Meeting from Thursday June 9 - Friday June 10 in Shanghai, China.

This User Meeting offers a great opportunity to see current research from your colleagues and to learn about the latest developments from Schrödinger. The focus of the meeting will be on recent advances in computational drug discovery, as well as data integration, analysis, and visualization. Please check back for program details in a few weeks. We look forward to meeting you there.
