Tonight is our final seminar of the 2024-2025 season. Closing things out we have THE @PatrickFier of Merck coming to talk about new chemical methods developed in industry!

Hi everyone! Looking forward to an exciting evening of students’ posters tonight at 5 followed by our students choice Dr Richmond Sarpong @SarpongGroup can’t wait to see everyone there!

Tonight’s the night! Come join us for an exciting seminar with Nobel laureate Prof . Dave MacMillan! Please note the room location change!

Thank you to all who came for professor Dan Kim’s Early Career Investigator Lecture last night. Dr. Kim delivered an awesome talk on TFMKs as well highlighted some exciting unpublished work we can’t wait to see more of soon

Last week we had a phenomenal talk from Dr. Emma Parmee for our Women In Chemistry lecture. Dr. Parmee shared about recent advancements and new modalities and how they can now drug some of the most difficult targets. Thank you to all who attended!

Hopefully everyone had a nice holiday because we are so back for another season of incredible academic and industrial chemistry seminars. To ring in 2025 we’re starting with our Women in Chemistry lecture with Dr Parmee of J&J! Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday

Azorellolide! How can you not work on a natural product that starts with "Azo"? Great collaboration with @TantilloLab. I have to say my respect for carbocations has enormously gown through this project. They are just too high in energy and have too many options. But you can tame…
Our final POCC until 2025 is tonight! Come on out and check out a fantastic talk from GSK!

So what’s everyone dressing up as tomorrow? Bonus points if chemistry themed 👀
Phenomenal talk from @bmsnews process icon @rebeccois ! An incredible story on the exciting development of the process route for Udifitimod. Highlighting BMS’s exciting base metal catalysis capabilities!


TOMORROW! Please join us for our first industrial speaker of the year, Dr. Rebecca Green! She will be joining us from @bmsnews to talk about sustainable route design and development of Udifitimod!

What a phenomenal turnout for our first seminar of the year! An inspiring talk on using what carbons to guide total synthesis strategies in the @SASnyderLab ! Thank you to all the students, faculty, and industry chemists for attending! And thank you to @FMCCorp for sponsoring!




Our first POCC seminar will be from Scott Snyder from @UChiChemistry who will be discussing some of the awesome syntheses coming out from his laboratory. Join us on Thurs 9/26 at 6:30 PM for food and drinks with the talk kicking off at 7:30 at @PennChemistry !!!

The leaves are changing color and you know what that means? Yup, you guessed it, POCC will be starting up again for another great year of speakers from industry and academia. Join Chair @jamilligan12 and Chair-Elect @ckellzchem for great talks starting Sept 26th!
