April 7th-11th, 2013
Schrödinger at 245th ACS Meeting, New Orleans, LA

Schrödinger scientists will attend and present at the 245th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana from April 7th-11th, 2013.

Please visit us at booth 400 in the Expo Hall, Sunday from 6 pm to 8:30 pm, Monday and Tuesday from 9 am to 5 pm, where you may try our software firsthand. We're also excited to debut the Materials Science Suite, to be released later this spring - be among the first people to get a sneak preview!

As always, there are a number of excellent presentations by Schrödinger scientists and users, below please find a listing for your convenience.
