Dial-a-Molecule Annual Meeting 2017<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Transforming Chemical Synthesis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: 21st June 2017<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Liverpool; The Foresight Centre, 1 Brownlow St, Liverpool L69 3GL<\/p>\n

Meeting report:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 100 people gathered in Liverpool on 21st<\/sup> June for Transforming Chemical Synthesis, the 2017 Annual meeting of the Dial-a-Molecule Meeting.<\/p>\n

Attendees were treated to a great set of talks, looking at how we can push the boundaries of chemical synthesis and also took advantage of the networking opportunities provided by the event.<\/p>\n

Presentations from Lee Cronin, Steve Hilton, Varinder Aggarwal and Andy Cooper covered the connected laboratory, intelligent autonomous systems, 3D printing, molecular assembly lines and computationally led design of functional molecules, demonstrating just how much is possible by forward looking and creative groups. Coleen Robinson highlighted the importance of engaging the end-user in the design and selection of automated equipment options, in order to enable uptake of these tools, whilst Mimi Hii introduced the concept of a Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge Institute providing widely accessible, state-of-the art equipment and expertise to accelerate the progress and capability of UK synthetic chemistry. In the final session Patrick Courtney and Bill Whittingham gave us insights into Future Opportunities, both from the European perspective and in terms of priorities for industry. The day was completed with flash presentations from ECRs and an exhibition.<\/p>\n
