Supporting Future Scientists
Since 2011, Pharmaron has established a post-doctoral scholarship program, with the mission to support outstanding Ph.D. students to gain world-class scientific research experience and training and to encourage aspiring students to pursue further education in organic chemistry.
This year two Pharmaron scholarship recipients from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Dr. Bo Pang and Dr. Jun Zhu, are pursuing their post-docs from Joint BioEnergy Institute of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of Chicago, respectively. Both of them came to Pharmaron to discuss their Ph.D. work with chemists in a recent Friday Seminar Series presentation before they went abroad. Dr. Pang presented “Biosynthesis on Assembly Line – the Organic Synthesis Pipelining in Nature.” Dr. Zhu presented “Development of Novel Cascade Cyclization Reactions Based on Indole Derivatives.”
Dr. Boliang Lou, Chairman and CEO said, “We are proud to continually support the next generation of scientists, who are the key to our future.”
