After the successful launching of the 1st Queenstown Molecular Biology (Shanghai) Meetings in March 2013, we repeated that experience in 2014, 2015 and 2016 which received tremendous responses among both domestic and overseas scientific communities. As a result, the Queenstown Molecular Biology Meetings Society of New Zealand and the National Center for Drug Screening will hold 2017 Queenstown Molecular Biology (Shanghai) Meetings between March 16 and 17, 2017. The event will focus on the theme of “Drug Discovery and Basic Science” and be concurrent with the 9th National Forum on New Technologies in Drug Discovery and the 6th Meeting of Chinese Network for Drugs and Diagnostics Innovation (http://www.asiandi.org:8099/).

Queenstown Molecular Biology (QMB) Meetings were initiated in New Zealand in 1991 as an annual gathering of bioscientists in New Zealand and Australia, which has become a well-known international science forum over the years and is held during the last week of August each year.
