Learning from Leaders
Pharmaron held its seventh annual Symposium on Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry on September 16, 2017, at the Beijing Main Campus. Eight world-renowned professors and industry leaders from Europe, China, and the US addressed hundreds of Pharmaron scientists and partners.
Presenters discussed the latest advancements in synthetic and medicinal chemistry and innovative drug discovery approaches, which could change the current drug discovery paradigm. Notably, cutting-edge chemical and biological technologies and their novel combination approaches were presented, which provide a new and potentially powerful arsenal for the industry. The synthetic chemistry discussions included innovative and efficient methodologies and well-designed and executed total syntheses of highly complex natural products, along with efficiency and mechanism-driven process chemistry examples. Learning is a critical component of Pharmaron’s culture. Pharmaron’s symposiums and fora allow our scientists to interact directly with academic and industry leaders, learn cutting-edge science and technologies, and understand how experts approach challenging problems. This gives our scientists ongoing support to provide high-quality, efficient services to our partners.
“The chemistry world is changing and advancing at a rapid pace,” said Dr. Boliang Lou, Chairman & CEO of Pharmaron. “Our presenters provide us with not only chemistry updates, but inspire us to think differently and stay innovative.”
