A promotional image for the upcoming Chemical Science symposium, on the subject of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics. 
The image shows a black background and on the right hand side is a stylised image of an unwanted cell with dendritic extensions, shown in red. It has a purple targeting reticule showing that it is being aimed at for treatment. Surrounding the red cell are a number of blue cells, conveying selective targeting.
On the left hand side of the image is text for the Royal Society of Chemistry, along with the logo of the society, which is a stylised โ€œCโ€.
Other text states โ€œChemical Science symposium, 18-19 November 2025, London, UKโ€ and โ€œSave the dateโ€.
