SCI's Young Chemists' Panel

London, UK

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

The 26th Annual Review Meeting - Catalysis and Enabling Technologies for Synthesis, organised by SCI's Young Chemists' Panel, will address key areas of contemporary synthetic organic chemistry. An exciting line-up of leading early career academics will deliver a series of review lectures covering a range of topics, including photoredox catalysis, biocatalysis, chemoinformatics, and automated reaction optimisation. The meeting will deliver a comprehensive overview of the material, highlight new methods and introduce (potential) industrial application. The review lectures will be supported by two plenary speakers: Prof Varinder Aggarwal FRS from the University of Bristol and Prof Guy Lloyd-Jones FRS from the University of Edinburgh.

Poster abstracts submission deadline - Friday 15 November 2019. Please see below for further details.


Attendees
The meeting is ideally suited to those working in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or agrochemical industries who want to develop their knowledge in key areas. It is also aimed at those in academia, particularly graduates and post-graduates with a background in synthesis and catalysis. A booklet will be provided to all participants containing the lecture materials as well as extensive literature references that will be an excellent resource for years to come.
