#NewGroupMember🚨 Maria Kolyagina joins us for for Integrated CATalysis (iCAT) CDT PhD, working in collaboration with Turner Biocatalysis Maria will work on biological applications of sulfonium salt photochemistry!

We would like to thank our invaluable set of sponsors for supporting what promises to be an exciting conference! 🧪👩‍🔬 From many different fields of chemistry, our sponsors can be found on the ECOFR XV website: ecofr-xv2024.net/sponsors-exhib…

Throughout the conference, we will have a collection of exciting exhibitors that will be showing us the latest technology and opportunities in chemistry! 🔬🥼 To see the full list of exhibitors, check below on the ECOFR XV website: ecofr-xv2024.net/sponsors-exhib…

The final programme for ECOFR XV is now live on our website! 👩‍🔬👨‍🏫 Complete with a full list of speakers, poster sessions, and reception times, the programme can be accessed through the link below! ecofr-xv2024.net/programme

The #LCSOSynthesisProblem is back! Can you predict the outcome of these radical cyclizations? This week Najung Lee challenged us with the synthesis of (−)-Phaeocaulisin A by Procter Group in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Take a look: epfl.ch/labs/lcso/wp-c… Original paper: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2…

This week the group were awarded the bronze LEAF award 🍃🥉 for improving our environmental sustainability in the laboratory! ♻ Well done to the group for their efforts in working for this award!

Cristina Nevado (Nevado Group) kicks off #ECOFRxv delivering the Pharmaron plenary lecture about her work on radical approaches to asymmetric synthesis!

Matthew Gaunt (The Gaunt Group) closes today’s lectures giving the Vertex Pharmaceuticals lecture on the use of radicals for differing reactivity platforms allowing for implementation into synthesis and biology #ECOFRxv

Song Lin (Song Lin Lab) starts off this morning’s proceedings delivering the AstraZeneca lecture on the development of new strategies for organic electrosynthesis ⚡️#ECOFRxv

Manchester’s own Anthony Green (Green Research Group) joins us to discuss his groundbreaking work on building enzymes with new functions #ECOFRxv

Paolo Melchiorre (Paolo Melchiorre) joins us for the last of our morning talks to discuss how photochemistry using EDA complexes can lead to unexpected reactivity #ECOFRxv

Alison Wendlandt (Alison Wendlandt) kick starts this afternoon’s lectures delivering the Astex Lecture to discuss the development of stereoediting tools outside the confines of thermodynamics #ECOFRxv

Erin Stashe (Stache Lab) delivers the Cell Press lecture on light-mediated recycling of polystyrene for commodity chemical production #ECOFRxv

Closing the conference is Daniele Leonori (Leonori Lab) who discusses his impressive work on developing novel synthetic methods using photochemistry #ECOFRxv

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Procter Group in Manchester! 🥳   To mark this special occasion, at ECOFR XV - 2024, we decided to collect some past and present group members together for a special group picture!   Thank you all for your contributions over the years!

Back from Manchester, representing Cell Press Chemistry at ECOFR XV - 2024, meeting authors & talking all things radical chemistry. Thank you to Procter Group & team for hosting a fantastic meeting, and the amazing Stache Lab for delivering the Cell Press lecture🌟 #ECOFRxv
