We invite undergraduate students, recent graduates and young scientists to participate in the Young Scientists' School in Molecular Pharmacology to be held on April 30, 2021 at the Sirius University of Science and Technology.

Leading scientists in the field will give state-of-the-art lectures on the current advances in molecular pharmacology including identification of novel disease-causing mechanisms and molecular targets, molecular modeling, novel drug delivery systems, and development of new animal models for preclinical studies.

The School organizers gratefully acknowledge the support of the Russian Science Foundation (project # 21-75-30020).
