Chemical Society Seminar (Brown Lecture): Francois Ravenelle- The Story Behind the Comeback of CB1 Blockers
Cannabinoid receptor type-1 (CB1) was discovered in the 1990s, but the assumptions made by the Pharma industry in the early 2000s were arguably wrong, and led to one of the biggest drug development debacle in Pharma history. A decade later, CB1 biology has greatly evolved and is better understood, thus opening the door to a possible comeback. Dr.
Chemical Society Seminar: Lior Sepunaru- Electrocatalysis Up Close: A Nano-Scale Adventure into Sustainable Electrochemistry
In the quest for sustainable energy and chemical production, electrocatalysis has emerged as a transformative frontier, captivating both academia and industry. At its core lies the challenge of understanding the fundamental mechanisms that drive catalyst performance This talk dives into the nanoscale heart of electrochemistry, exploring how atomic-level or nanoscopic phenomena translate to macroscopic catalytic performance.
Chemical Society Seminar (Allan Hay Lecture): Bert Meijer- From supramolecular polymers to functional materials and systems
Ever since the first polymers were discovered, scientists have debated their structures. Before Hermann Staudinger published the brilliant concept of macromolecules, it was generally assumed that the properties of polymers were based on the colloidal aggregation of small particles or molecules. Since 1920, polymers and macromolecules have been synonymous with each other; i.e. materials made by many covalent bonds connecting monomers in 2 or 3 dimensions.
