Synopsis
The 27th Annual Review Meeting “Hot Topics 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 whole organism biocatalysis, autonomous molecular motors, mechanisms of copper catalysis, and computational organic chemistry. 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. John Blacker from the University of Leeds and Prof. Matthew Gaunt from the University of Cambridge.
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.

 

SCI Members attending this meeting are able to claim CPD points.
