‘Can we talk Chemistry?’ is a forum in which several organic faculty

and graduate students, postdocs, and advanced undergraduates gather

to discuss common interests in chemistry.

 

Taken together, our research spans a wide range:

• Quantitative Experimental and Computational Analysis

• Reaction Discovery and Development

• Catalysts, Synthetic Methods

• Synthesis and Study of Molecules that are of Theoretical or Biomedical Interest, including Biopolymers, Drugs, Probes for Understanding Cellular and Disease Processes, and Natural products

 

Each of us has the goal of obtaining and refining expertise in at least

one of these areas. We also have a common trait: curiosity. We gather

weekly to discuss new ideas, meet with colleagues, and visit with

scholars from other departments. In the process we deepen our

knowledge and strengthen our group, division, and department.

You are invited to join us – and we look forward to talking chemistry.

• Coffee and Cookies (sponsored by the Department)

• Recent Advances in Organic Chemistry (by visiting faculty)

• Presentations (by senior graduate students)

• Problems (by second year graduate students)

• Recent Advances in Medicinal and Process Chemistry (by visiting scientists)
