Annual symposium for future chemists
London date for top young chemists

| Christine Prosser: UCB, Winner of the SCI Young Chemist in Industry XVI |
On 29 April 2008, ten
young chemists from across the
country will gather at SCI's London HQ for an annual one-day
symposium to showcase the work
they have been doing in the
chemical industry. This meeting
provides a unique opportunity for
young chemists who do not
possess a PhD to present their
science to an audience outside
their own organisation. This
year’s participants will talk on a
wide range of chemistry topics,
and come from Organon, Evotec,
GSK, Pfizer, Cellzome, Merck
Sharp & Dohme, Novartis and
AstraZeneca.
A competitive element is
incorporated into the day, with
prizes sponsored by Sigma Aldrich
for the best presentations. The
symposium is rounded off with a
lecture from an experienced,
high-profile industry figure. This
year it will be Graham Showell
from Takeda, with a talk entitled:
Event preview: Young Chemist in Industry symposium
‘From pharma to biotech and
back – a roller coaster ride in
drug discovery’.
The lectures will cover a wide
range of topics, including medicinal
chemistry, process chemistry and
new methodologies. The conference
will be of interest to all members,
but especially industrial chemists,
who will be able to discover what
their contemporaries are doing in
other industry sectors; providing
fresh insights into areas they had
not previously considered
investigating. It will also be relevant
to students considering an
industrial career, offering career
information and networking
opportunities over a glass of wine
at the end of the proceedings.
The Young Chemist in Industry
symposium, now in its 17th year,
routinely attracts more than 80
delegates, so book early to guarantee
your place.
