Academics to Industry
• Event: Introduction to medicinal chemistry designed for chemistry graduate
students and post docs.
• Concept: The younger chemists perspective on industry careers
– Graduate programs in chemistry often do not expose students to industry careers
– Medicinal chemists need to be able to interface with other scientific disciplines
– Younger chemists are able to teach basic concepts in medicinal chemistry to graduate
students with the appropriate level of detail (biology concepts focus on “why” not “how”)
• Presenters: Five younger chemists with diverse experience
•
