Chemical Society Seminar: Scott Hopkins- Beyond the Column: How Ion Mobility Adds a New Dimension to Chiral LC–MS Analysis

In 2021, while developing a differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) method for separating anti-arrhythmic drugs, we observed distinct behavioural differences between Verapamil, a chiral tertiary amine, and its demethylated amine metabolite, Norverapamil – Verapamil’s ionogram exhibited two baseline-resolved features, whereas Norverapamil’s showed only one.

Chemical Society Seminar:Yun Hang Hu- Advanced Materials for Sustainable Energy and Environment: From Nanomaterials to Superstructured Materials

We face significant challenges in achieving energy and environmental sustainability, and addressing these issues depends strongly on advances in materials innovation. In recent years, Prof. Hu’s group has focused on developing novel materials for clean energy and environmental applications through the discovery of new chemical reactions. In this talk, he will highlight:

Startup Finances

In this workshop, you'll learn how venture capitalists (VCs) typically value an early-stage innovation-driven venture. To do that we'll go through and give examples on how to forecast sales and how to set pricing, how to forecast expenses and how to figure out the amount of capital needed to finance your business. We'll also explore some of the more common sources of cash from both public institutions and private organisations.

McCAIS Inclusive AI Event

Join the McGill Collaborative for AI and Society (McCAIS) for its inaugural Inclusive AI event.

This half-day event brings together students and researchers in AI-related fields spanning across all McGill faculties to explore how we can break down barriers to participation and make AI and data science more inclusive for under-represented communities.

Startup Funding

Now that you have a grasp on how much money you need, this workshop will focus on the "deal". You'll learn what a venture capital fund is, its structure and how they operate, and what venture capitalists (VCs) look for in an early-stage innovation-driven venture. You'll also learn about the typical elements of a term sheet in connection with equity investments and simple agreements for future equity (SAFEs), and caveats when raising money.
