Official Information:

Emphasis is placed on Life Sciences, Materials Sciences, and Chemical Education. The technical program begins Saturday morning, May 21st, with symposia on Supramolecular Chemistry and Molecular Recognition, Advances in Organic Synthesis, Nucleic Acid Chemistry, Bioactive Small Molecule Design and Discovery, and Medicinal Chemistry of Anticancer Drugs. In the afternoon symposia in the Life Sciences continue with Synthetic Chemistry (across the border), Damage, Repair, and Mutation of DNA, Frontiers of Structure and Dynamics Using NMR Spectrosccopy, Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology of Anticancer Agents.Nanoparticle Metrology and Chemistry of Graphitic Materials begin symposia in Materials Science. Sunday morning is basically devoted to career development, to grant writing and grant opportunities, and to education. Plenary sessions are Sunday afternoon. Monday morning sessions have a Materials emphasis with symposia on New Technologies for Lithium Ion Batteries (for three half-days), Advances in Tetrahertz and IR Spectroscopy, and this emphasis continues in the afternoon with additional symposia in Redefining the Kilogram and Avogadro’s Number, Metal-Mediated Small Molecule Activation and Functionalization, and Chemistry and Materials Composition of Cultural Heritage Materials. Tuesday morning symposia will include Ambient Ionization Methods in Biological Mass Spectrometry, Nutraceutical and Food Chemistry: An Exciting Career for Chemists, Applied Methods for Separation Science, the Chromatography Award Symposium, and Cheminformatics and Bioinformatics: Working Together to Address Systems Chemical Biology.
