30th SCI Annual Review Meeting – New Directions in Organic Chemistry
Organised by:
SCI’s Young Chemists’ Panel
SCI, London, UK
Synopsis
The 30th Annual Review Meeting – New Directions in Organic Chemistry, 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 protein-protein interactions in medicinal chemistry, metalloenzymes in synthesis, organic photochemistry, and computational organic chemistry. The meeting will deliver a comprehensive overview of the material, highlight new methods, and introduce (potential) industrial applications. The review lectures will be supported by two plenary speakers: Prof Mike Waring from Newcastle University and Prof Timothy Donohoe from the University of Oxford.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. An electronic delegate pack 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.Posters
If you would like to present a poster, please send an abstract of maximum one A4 page or 300 words including schemes and references and indicating title and authors to conferences@soci.org by Friday 1 November 2024 with the subject line “30th Annual review meeting – poster submission” You can download an abstract template here.Exhibition and sponsorship
An exhibition will take place alongside the conference during refreshment breaks for companies and related organisations who may wish to exhibit. Please click here for the pack and email conferences@soci.org letting us know which package you are interested in. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.Programme
