MIKI Meeting

---

In 1963, the first Medicinal Chemistry Meeting-in-Miniature, informally referred as The "MIKI" Meeting, was held at the University of Iowa. This meeting was organized by the founders listed below. Since then, the Departments of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy of the Universities of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and Illinois at Chicago have alternately hosted these annual regional meetings. The MIKI meetings have been organized by students at the host university and have been one of the most successful annual regional meetings in the field of medicinal chemistry. Besides providing graduate students with opportunities to present their research at a scientific meeting, these annual meetings also act as a catalyst for sharing and exchanging ideas among students and faculties of the different universities.

Since 1966, the host university has invited an eminent scientist to deliver a keynote address. This allows MIKI participants to interact both professionally and socially with one of the top scientists in the field.
