Prof Jonathan Clayden “Dynamic Foldamers: Controlling Molecular Motion for Biomimetic Function”
Prof Jonathan Clayden School of Chemistry – University of Bristol Abstract Biology presents many challenges for the chemist to tackle, and 20th century synthetic chemistry made great advances in building the molecular structures of nature. A new target for synthesis is the mimicry of biological molecular function – for example the ability to manipulate and communicate information using complex molecular interactions and induced conformational changes, or to induce reactivity through fine control of molecular orientation. This lecture will describe…

Prof. Liming Dai Australian Carbon Materials Centre The ARC Centre of Excellence for Carbon Science and Innovation University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia Abstract: Since our discovery of the first carbon-based metal-free electrocatalyst (C-MFEC, i.e., N-doped carbon nanotubes) for oxygen reduction in fuel cells in 2009, the field of C-MFEC has grown enormously. CMFECs, as alternatives to noble metal-based electrocatalysts, have been widely demonstrated for efficient oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen reduction,…

Prof. Adrian Salic Harvard Medical School A propos de Adrian Salic Abstract Communication between cells is essential for all multicellular organisms, both during their embryonic development and in adult life. Cells send and receive signals continuously, thus responding to their environment and coordinating their behavior. Surprisingly, all communication between animal cells is carried out by a relatively small number of conserved signaling pathways (about 20), each consisting of an ordered chain of biochemical steps that link various extracellular inputs with…

Prof Darren J. Dixon “New Catalytic Approaches for Simplifying Complex Molecule Synthesis”
Darren J. Dixon Chemistry Research Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Abstract New catalysts are key for unlocking previously unknown molecular reactivity and unexplored chemical space, as well as governing the 3-dimensional structure of product molecules of interest to chemistry, biology and medicine. In this lecture, new synthetically relevant chemistry linked to two distinct types of catalyst systems will presented. In the first part, recent developments from our group for the direct synthesis of alpha and beta-functionalised…

Prof. Phil Holliger UKRI MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Francis Crick Avenue, Cambridge CB2 0QH, UK Abstract Synthetic biology seeks to probe fundamental aspects of biological form and function by construction (i.e. resynthesis) rather than deconstruction (analysis). Synthesis thus complements analytic studies, and allows novel approaches towards fundamental biological questions. We have been exploiting the synthesis paradigm to explore the chemical etiology of the genetic apparatus shared by all life on earth, specifically the synthesis, reverse…

Dr. Beatrice Adelizzi “Tuning non-covalent interactions: from synthetic supramolecular copolymers to proteins and DNA”
Beatrice Adelizzi Project Leader – Inkjet Synthesis at DNA Script Abstract Despite being inherently weak and dynamic, non-covalent interactions play a fundamental role in dictating the organization of molecules, materials, and (bio)polymers. Understanding such interactions allows one to tune their strength, predict the self-organization of the system, and enhance (or inhibit) targeted reactivities. Despite the wealth of research in the field of supramolecular chemistry, the challenge of mastering a system becomes exponentially more difficult as its complexity is increased. This…
