OrgSyn 50 - Developments in Organic Chemistry

27 February 2017 09:00 - 28 February 2017 17:00, Manchester, United Kingdom


Introduction
Fluorochem invite you to put on your party hat and join us to celebrate our 50-year milestone in helping support research and supplying intermediates for R&D worldwide. What better way to celebrate than inviting some of the most eminent figures in the UK research community to share their work. The event will be held at the prestigious Midland Hotel in Manchester which offers an impressive backdrop for this special event. Delegates have the opportunity to eat, drink and sleep at the hotel as part of their ticket price.
 
The two days will be compiled of 13 outstanding lectures covering a broad range of subjects and will be of huge curiosity to anyone with an interest in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. We are delighted to have attracted a high calibre of speakers to this event and want to ensure people don’t miss out on a unique opportunity to appreciate the remarkable standard of current research being undertaken in the UK.
 
Join us for tales of the unexpected; from fluorination to feedstock, cascades to catalysis and nanoscale to nature. Learn about the latest in cancer research and engage in topics such as rotaxanes, urea function and digitising chemistry.
 
A variety of ticket options can be purchased now at Orgsyn.co.uk but just to let you know those staying for a bite to eat with us can expect some interesting entertainment in the evening. After all we are Fluorochem and doing things different is what we do best!
We look forward to seeing you there…
