JuliaCon 2026

Pharmaceutical research is currently undergoing a major transformation, driven by the increasing availability of high-quality data, advances in algorithmic methods, and the growing integration of computational tools across the drug discovery pipeline.
While Python and C++ remain widely used for their maturity and performance, Julia offers a compelling alternative - one that is still underrepresented in this field.
This minisymposium aims to bring together computational chemists, pharmacologists, and software developers to explore the practical applications and potential of Julia in pharmaceutical research.

The programm includes:
- an introductory talk (30 minutes),
- several application talks (15 minutes presentation and 10 minutes discussion).
- open discussion

We are curious to hear about your project (e.g., are you working on pharmacophore modelling or do you want to show your ML workflow on virtual screening?). We welcome submissions from both academia and industry.
Following the application talks, we will host an open discussion to gather perspectives on Julia's potential role in pharmaceutical research. Participants are invited to share their experiences — successes, challenges, or lessons learned. The session will conclude with a brief closing talk summarizing key insights and future directions.
This minisymposium is intended for both Julia newcomers and experienced users.
